Amazing idea for a movie. This is a powerful portrayal of cultural differences and just a well made war film

Incredible war movie with a unique (for Americans) perspective. Has some real heart and perspective to it.

It is a long movie but it is powerful and inspiring. One of Eastwood’s best moves that feels like he gave it an amazing amount of care

A good war movie told from the perspective of the Japanese, which isn't often done. Bravo, Clint Eastwood.

A very intense and gruesome film that captures the hopelessness of war and the various meanings of duty.

Sometime a bit slow, but at least a better representation of Japan side from WW2.

Given Eastwood's occasionally jingoistic film-making, I'm surprised this is as sympathetic as it is.

The Hunt for Red October
A new technologically-superior Soviet nuclear sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Captain Marko Ramius. The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. Lone CIA analyst Jack Ryan has a different idea: he thinks Ramius is planning to defect, but he has only a few hours to find him and prove it - because the entire Russian naval and air commands are trying to find Ramius, too. The hunt is on!
