Operation Seawolf

The basic plot idea does make sense and was considered in reality - so that was a very good starting point. Effects are mediocre at best for 2022, but are good enough to tell the story, and same goes for the props. The only missing thing left for a good movie was a script and some guys to check it for factual errors - and the one script they decided to realise is a desaster. Way too many banal, horrible timed speeches, no real dialog, no story progression.

Sad thing is, if they had developed a simple storyline, told through dialog and the limited amount of props and effects, this could have been a decent war movie.

This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Calling this a B film would be a compliment, but this barely classifies as a C film. After 25 minutes of watching, I'm still lost as to what is happening. All there is, is a bunch of nonsense dialogue and horrible acting in scenes that simply go nowhere. This was worse than what you would see at a fifth grade drama class play. I'm not sure why this was even made, it is complete nonsense and unwatchable, I couldn't even finish it. It lacks any fluidity, is convoluted, and sloppily written and directed.

I can appreciate it's a low budget film, but having a bunch of random dialogue and scenes that don't even make a story, is pointless. I feel sorry for Grillo and Lundgren, because even they look lost in what they're supposed to be a part of. It's like "look at this, say that, look away" end scene. Lundgren has to walk around with a drink in his hand looking lost and aimless - I hope for his sake there was real alcohol in that glass. It's a very generous 2/10 - one star for each of the legendary leads - there's nothing else redeemable otherwise.

This movie has many shortcomings and a few saving graces.

The cast billing has frank grilli and dolph lundgren as supporting actors to Hiriam Murray but it is very clear Dolph is the leading actor in this movie.

The story lacks cohesiveness and plods along at a snails pace They chose to do English speaking with a German accent

Vfx are not the best but I can see past that if the story is good. Take USS Indianapolis for example. Terrible shark footage but a great story that I can forgive. This doesn't have that

A subplot of a minor mutiny seems to have been thrown in to give this movie some wheels to see it through to the climax but is just distracting

The only real saving grace is Dolph Lundgren plays an Eastern European with aplomb as usual. Just a shame he doesn't get to knock anyone out this time

Worth a watch just the once.

This film is either: a) A representation of Germany toward the end of WWII; or b) Have this entire cast & crew & writers & Directors ever seen a 'REAL' WWII submarine picture? Although I did plod through it until the hapless ending, There were so many things wrong with this picture, that I'd like to point out just a few.

Early in the film, the 'new' crew gets all lined up for inspection. To be ruefully honest, they all looked as if they'd just paused their Game Boys, Cell Phone games, or whatever, to get off their fat rears long enough to form some sort of 'line' for poor, unshaven, haggard Dolf Lundgren to inspect. Lundgren looks like he just finished "Rocky IV", and they just got the red coloring off. Not even their uniforms matched! Carry this theme to the locations, the desks & chairs, even the pictures on the wall and you will have an idea of how this film looked. Bad.

It is also way past obvious that the number of people in the film was cut to the absolute minimum. On the U. S. side, there is a guy who keeps running to the General with the latest news -- in his first appearance, he looks like he's thinking: "Gee, I'm really in an actual movie!". Yes, this film is THAT bad!

To be fair, making a film set in ~1945 is more difficult in 2022 then it was in 1945-1950. But still!

Do not waste your time watching this film. This film looks as though the recent 'plandemic' really did wipe out most of the (Hollywood?) population.

This movie had so much potential to be good. God knows they tried with what cash they had to work with. As with most direct to streaming films, this one wastes Dolph's talents, of what he has left. The CGI is marginal and sadly, they really needed a WW2 technical advisor for German uniforms and U boats. They took an actual event then made the rest up. I like WW2 films, even fictional ones if the storyline is decent and the action is beleviable. That means Germans speak German, uniforms are authentic and ranks correct, and vehicles are period correct. This film blows all of this. Pass this one up.
