Standard predictable Hollywood fare (Mild spoiler warning)

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2003)

We'll leave aside the historical inaccuracies. Much as it may ranckle, with those of us who have an interest in such matters this is an unashamed work of fiction so it should be judged as such.
From the setting up the German's as pure evil by the machine gunning of a boat of survivors to the "but the hose won't reach" scene, you can pretty much predict the story and the dialogue as it goes along. But that said, it's not as toe cringingly bad as Pearl Harbor and is a decent stab at an adventure film.
If you want to see how it should have been done, go and watch Das Boot!
