    Hunter Killer (Review)

    Feels like it was made using the Jerry Bruckheimer formula of movie making: lots of action and good visuals, zero character development and generic dialogue from the big book of action movies. Basic plot is at least original, but that's about it. Not a bad action/thriller flick, not one you'll be thinking about the next day. Good mindless fun, and nothing else of substance. B-

    Silent Service, Shhhhhhh.

    I just love subs and sub movies, but you nailed it ... great visuals and a good story line with originality and promise, but lacking in execution ... becoming ‘meh’ when done.

    Otherwise, no where near the character development of ‘Crimson Tide’ ...
    Given that 10-shots are a group and 5-shots may be a favorable trend ... know that just one good 3-shot group can make you an instant internet superstar!

    That pretty well sums it up.

    I was pissed that there wasn't more sub-on-sub (of the naval warfare variety) action. Seriously, a battle with one Akula? Been there before and "Hunt for Red October" did it better.

    In the preview he says "Dive the ship..." and I knew that this wasn't going to fulfill my Clancy fix.

    Yep, I think I'll just watch "Das Boot" and/or "Run Silent, Run Deep". They're as good as it gets.
