I think U-boot movies are rather entertaining but they never reach the level of 'Das Boot', the ultimate U-boot flick. But still, it is an entertaining genre so I thought I should check this one out as well. First of all, there is an interesting cast (Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel).

"Another case of 'there are better films out there' but I don't care. I enjoyed it! A number of actors I enjoy watching all in one film and it's interesting! Submarines, action, WWII and great stars? What more could one want? =)

It was back in those days when McConaughey was trying other things than romantic comedies and he was allright here. Of course, Bill Paxton and Harvey Keitel are always dependable and delivered the goods as usual. Furthermore, there were some good action scenes and the whole thing was rather thrilling to watch.
