    I actually thought ‘Crimson Tide’ was pretty good as a movie. Nobody will get any Oscars for their performances but I thought at times the mood was tight. Certainly throughout the movie they tried to raise the ‘race’ issue but it was covert not overt. Juxtaposition ruled the mindset. The ships name was the Alabama a vague reference to the racially charged south. Racially diverse officer cadre of the ship, with wide differing opinions. The reference to the Lipizzaner Stallions being born white\black thing. As much as the movie tried it wouldn’t give you a toe hold for making race the real issue. The issue, in the movie, continued to be the commanding styles of the two key players. Finally (and somewhat sadly) I think ‘Crimson Tide’ sort of signaled the twilight of Gene Hackman as far as a leading figure in a movie. I think Denzel realized this and sort of played down his character a little in respect to all of Hackman’s accomplishments. I might be wrong but I kind of got that feeling. I also found it a scream that James Gandolfini was in this movie (at the time I said, who?). Now the rest is history.

      Hackman's lines.
      I think he did as fine work as he ever has in "Unforgiven," btw.

        The best performance by Hackman that I've seen.

        I thought one of Hackman's best performances was as Lex Luthor in the first two Superman movies. The 'greatest criminal mind ...
