...a little bit over-rated at this moment in time....
It is not a bad movie for its budget...did not have the tilting hydraulic floor that " hunt for red october " or " crimson tide " or even " u-571 " had. not even close to " das boot ".
for a b-grade and budget movie it will earn high marks, which it has here as of this time....7.1...but if it was an "a" grade film you would have to knock it down 1 point at least. a fair rating for this movie would be low 6.
everything was passable not great. any film over 7 rating we would and should remember. you will not remember this movie same time next year. acting-wise...decent..but for a thriller...i'm sorry...the thrill and suspense wasnt there.
add 1/2 point to 1 point if you are a fan of submarine movies.
over-all impression upon first viewing was okay...not rewatchable...a solid low 6 for me...it helped passed the time....not a clunker tho as so many reviewers have stated.
