REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 8-Jun-2006) Most WWII submarine movies were
done in Hollywood after the war. This one was made during the war in
Britain. The differences are telling. Although entirely a fictional
account, the story told is one of the better of the genre. The British
sub is sent on a near suicide mission to sink a large German
battleship. This is pretty good stuff here. The movie has some of the
same claustiphobic feeling of Das Boot. The side plots concerning the
crew's lives on shore are well told. The action sequences are done in
typical stiff-upper lipped British style, which in this case, works
very well. Little gloss here. Little gloss needed. (Do you hear that,
Hollywood?) Altogether, this is good story telling. I consider it to be
one of the better WW II sub movies, easily competing with movies like
"Run Silent, Run Deep" which is near the top of my list.
Do you know something we don't?
