Didn't make any sense
13 February 2008
This movie didn't make any sense to me. It started out good, but fell apart quickly. There are occasionally some good underwater visuals, but not enough to justify watching this mess. Maybe there is a plot or story there somewhere, but it's not worth my effort to find it. I wasn't in the navy on a submarine, and not in WWII, either, but I can't believe the constant chip on the shoulder, angry and tough talk. I think this is a very modern phenomena in movies. It's a lazy writer's device, no character development or human warmth or relationships need be dealt with. Most of the time it's dark with glaring lights, often one doesn't know what one is seeing or what is going on. It's hard to care about anyone in the movie or what is happening.
