A Russian Captain and
crew are rushed from their previous assignment to a new mission on an older
submarine. This is a highly
classified mission involving a rogue KGB group testing a new weapon to be used in the Cold
War. The Captain has been
suffering from seizures that alter his perception of reality but only a few
crewmembers know about this condition.
The KGB is secretly determined to gain control of the ship’s nuclear
missile. They plan to use their new equipment to disguise which
ship launched the weapon and blame it on the Chinese to start a nuclear WWIII.
OK, you spent the
money on Harris and Duchovny and now you have $1.59 left for the military advisor on this film. How can this
be believable with American actors in the lead roles and speaking
English too. There are many factual
mistakes and nothing is shown about what is going on with a nearby American
submarine. The ending is not very
good either. Now, the addition of
a giant squid could have lifted this film out of the murky depths, NOT!! This is based on true events but you
cannot tell there is any truth going on here. 2* (I didn’t
like this movie)
