Having loved the book for many years and it's follow up Closing Time, and having seen an excellent production on stage, this did not disappoint. No it's not an archetypal war film and Heller designed the first chapters to disorient the reader but it's hits the point of the madness of war when capitalism continues unabated. Big congratulations to the casting team...spot on!!
Supposedly we are on the brink of war with Russia and have to go to search for a Sub threatening our communication lines in the North Atlantic. Well how did we know exactly where it was in the first place? In a supposedly tense scene in the second episode the sea states changed randomly and regularly along with the captains attire. Editor should consider a new career, if this was a film ( as it is styled) it would be ridiculous. Even the Navy ploughs it's frigate into a mountainous seas with only a rubber seal to protect its main gun. God help us if this is what is supposed to defend us.
