Entertaining, but rent "Das Boot" instead

Rating: 6/10 (21 April 2000)

During the first scene I thought they had threaded up the wrong movie. The opening, set in a German sub, looks like it has been taken directly from the 1982 masterpiece "Das Boot". This feeling of Deja Vu continued as the fun but bogus plot progressed. The director seems to have taken all the good scenes from "Das Boot" and strung them together, replacing interesting characters with flat ones and a strong anti-war message with a celebration of American heroism. I was never bored though, and if you're just looking for 108 minutes of fun, explosions and evil Germans this movie might be for you.
