. . . lets see if I can give it a review based on the previews I've seen.Harrison Ford is horribly miscast in the role of the Russian Submarine Captain. His ludicrous accent varies in intensity throughout the entire film. Liam Neeson as a political officer on the vessel as an observer gets into staring contests with Ford over points of authority. The tight quarters and darkness puntuated with red light makes atmosphere of the film claustrophobic and filled with tension. At some point the sub goes too deep and everyone sweats and looks around wildly as it creaks and groans. Oh, will they ever survive? Nuclear war is averted at the last possible second. The nobel captian dies, but saves his men.
Does anyone else think that submarine flicks are the most boring and predictable genre in movies?
