A great disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2000)

Until I saw this movie, I didn't know the details of the story. The suspense was fine, but the writing was on a 6th grade level, and the facts (as in most Hollywood films about historical events) weren't true, i.e., there would not be a black man aboard a WWII submarine with whites because the American Armed Forces weren't desegregated until 1945; plus, the British actually broke the Enigma code, NOT the Americans [which the film finally acknowledges in the end credits very condescendingly].
Being of mixed ancestry (English, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Italian, Jewish, & Hispanic), this movie was a great disappointment, as well as a disservice to the British soldiers who gave their lives so that the code could be broken--a piece of *@!# made by the Hollywood machine for one reason: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
