Xingoistic Tripe

Rating: 1/10 (12 February 2007)

This film is to submarine warfare, what Jaws is to marine biology. I cannot think of a scene that was not awful, except when one of my least favourite actors falls overboard and drowns. I did stand up and cheer when that happened. The plot is absurd and the acting is worse. Why did Hollywood feel it necessary to foist this bomb on an unsuspecting public. The hype was nonstop to the point of hauling out WWII vets to the openings in local theatres. For the most part the vets were trying to figure out which war they had just seen. If you want to see a good submarine film then rent and watch Down Periscope with Kelsey Grammar. It is just as based on fact as this "waste" but Down Periscope is a very funny film.
I give this film "12 Turkeys"
