The worst film ever made?

Rating: 1/10 (4 November 2013)

Having read reviews of this film when it was released my expectations were very low and I was not disappointed. The U-Boat service had the highest rate of mortality of WWII but if all U-Boats had been built like the one in this film no U-Boat crewmen would have died, the sub managed to survive multiple close range detonations from depth charges. Every submarine film cliché was here and grossly over done, for example the US crew on the U-Boat, officer that has to prove himself, check! NCO who is a Saint and assists the previously mentioned officer, check! Young nervous crew member who dies heroically, check! Anyone who actually served in the North Atlantic during WWII could I'm sure write a book about what was wrong with this film. If my grandfather's ship had not been torpedoed by the most successful U-Boat in WWII and him drowned I could have asked him to do so.
