The MM - "Suspenseful
story about the Russian nuclear sub that set sail prematurely and
almost started WWIII in 1961. Accurate depiction of Russia's
military machinery and political mentality along with strong lead
performances and suspenseful situations make this movie worthwhile
for people interested in historical drama. Weak dialogue, overly
macho behavior, contrived emotional situations, and a prolonged
ending cause this movie to spring a leak and not be able to navigate
its entire course with its periscope above water."
