Pretty good entertainment, but if you want realism with regard to life aboard a US Nuclear Submarine, watch "The Hunt for Red October" instead. A poor plot, mediocre acting, and not much suspense. I wouldn't waste my money if I were you...... Just my humble opinion!

I read the comment about adding spoiler information but there is nothing I have to say that would spoil this for someone else - the director has already done it.

If you're a naive youngster wanting to see a submarine - go to a naval base. If you're a mindless... well, this is a poorly done soap opera done by someone that should have stayed a computer graphics artist.

I suspect the budget for this was around two hundred dollars. For two hundred and ten, they could have purchased a used Bluejacket's Manual to help them with the basic military ideas - of which they had none that were believable.

Invest your time in something else, such as ...anything.

Watch closely as a scared new sonar operator deals with a dilemma while a submarine Captain deals with his troubles. Then, as a Navy Seal tries to make amends, observe and admire the strong will of the lady JAG officer, who tries to do what is right and does what she can. Be shocked at the vanity of the sociopathic protagonist. This movie tries to help the layperson feel the sort dangers that exits under the waves. Unfortunately, the action engages you before you learn about the people, so it loses some of it's possible impact. Still, it has Good action, interesting underwater sequences and fair acting. So, generally, this film is watchable and a tollerable expenditure of time.
