Great naval movie, one of the best in my opinion.
An amazing high tension movie. Hackman and Washington are at the top of there game
What a film! A gripping war film that brings out the best in Denzel Washington!
One of Tony Scott’s best. An ebony and ivory dick measuring contest with nuclear weapons.
Awesome submarine thriller! Stellar cast, great soundtrack and incredibly tense moments!
Denzel and Gene Hackman are great. One of the best submarine thrillers out there
Even though it's marketing didn't vary much from Hunt 4 Red October, or similar submarine flicks, it still outshone other 90's thrillers!
Tense and thrilling film that has two big time leads that exceed expectations. Dumbed down a bit for a broader audience but still great.
High stakes pissing contest between a stubborn Gene Hackman and a virtuous Denzel Washington. Somewhere between good and great.
Great thriller. Hackman and Washington make a tense suspenseful movie.
