This is a WWII submarine action/suspense/drama.

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2004)

I purchased this movie to send to my son-in-law who was, at the time, on combat duty in Iraq. Before shipping it, I watched it. In fact, I watched it three times. Action/suspense is not my favorite type of movie, so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I thought the casting, direction, story line, screenplay, and acting were all very, very good. I found the plot complex enough that I picked up on new things and learned more about the Enigma recovery missions each time I saw the film. "The Hunt for Red October" is one of my all-time favorite films, and this is very nearly as well done, in my opinion. I recommend it highly to anyone who enjoys drama, especially stories about ordinary people who are capable of being trained to perform in challenging circumstances.
