Reviews Review created: 13/07/08 by: I bought the movie because I had not seen it and enjoyed The Hunt For The Red October, I loved the mutiny scenes and the underwater fight with the Russian sub but I was not too impressed with the dialogue, the spoken script could have been more talkative Review ID: 10000000007960802 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 07/05/07 by: I like Denzil Washington films and thought this would be a good film, which it was but I had seen recently a film "Phantom Below" which was practically the same film but with different actors. But still a good watch. Review ID: 10000000003527814 Was this review helpful? Report this review Just brilliant. Great tension between the lead characters, convincing dramatic scenario and good effects. Definite must-see action and drama. Review ID: 10000000002489883 Was this review helpful?

Gene Hackman and Wesley Snipe play a game of chess in a power struggle that has the fate of the world in the balance. Denzel Washington is Lt. Cmdr. Ron Hunter, the new XO on a nuclear sub The Crimson Tide, Captained by Capt. Frank Ramsey, Gene Hackman in another typically strong and dis-likable performance. Gene's character is arrogant, slightly redneck, got-there-the-hard-way subdriver and has overbearing manner, right down to an irritating little dog named Jack Daniels. He is slightly intimidated by Denzel's highly education, got there by hard study, and naturally tries to deny this - even to himself - but the personality clash is going to happen. In the middle of the action, is Weps (Yeppers, Aragon in a buzz cut!!). Viggo Mortensen's character, Lt. Peter 'Weps' Ince, respects both men. He is friends with Denzel, but he has served together with Hackman as more will to work with him. His character is torn by friends and chain of command, plus his own worry and conscience about the effect upon his family. Good Support from George Dzundza; Nice cameo at the end by Jason Robards. Well written, acted and strongly paced. Review ID: 10000000001392336 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
