Hard choices get the job done. Survival is hard earned.

Rating: 7/10 (6 December 2000)

Very good submarine flick. Twisted portrayal of history. In 1942, German U-Boats dominate the North Atlantic and sink Allied supply ships at will. A special mission is designed for an American submarine to disguise itself and crew as German in order to capture a German Code machine. The Enigma Code was very crucial in the Nazi naval war effort.
This movie is an action packed two hours. The tension runs high. And the suspense is hard and rampant. The characters earn your concern for their survival.
A very talented and hard working cast that features Matthew McConaughey and a sharp and surprising effort from Jon Bon Jovi. (Yes, the singer). Also turning in very fine performances are Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel, David Keith and Erik Palladino.
