Hunter Killer (Review)

[WillBrink]

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 did. Like you mentioned though...not bad, but forgetful.

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’ ...

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.

Yeah I saw it. Your review was spot on. I enjoyed it, but it wasnt super good. Nice way to spent a couple of hours.
