Hunter Killer (Review)

[MountainRaven]

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

FIFY.

I'm amazed that Mikke Nyqvist is still showing up in movies - and still playing Russians - given that he died in 2017. And he's Swedish.

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

Yeah, that line irked me. I knew at that point that they gave up any pretense of accuracy.

FIFY.

I think I read on IMDB that he died before it was released. You can tell in the movie that he was in bad shape. Too bad, he was a good actor.

Not that I am a claustrophobic person or anything but being underwater and in a confined space is my idea of hell. Das boot was the best submariner movie ever IMHO and all others pale in comparison. Still, being that this is an action movie I might bite. There is just so much crap coming out of HWierd these days, did you see the Oscars??? Cripes, full blown BS in a hand basket. There is enough political theater already.

I stopped paying any attention to the Oscars a long time ago. It's a farce and "look at me" time for vapid people of no real value who live in a bubble within a bubble of reality at this point. No chits given. Those modern subs would not bother me, the WWII era subs my uncle worked in as a LT Commander while being chased by the Japanese Navy, not so much. I have no idea how he/they spent months in those things I have no idea. Dark, cold, wet, small, smelly, etc. Nope.

Never heard of the movie, until I came across this thread. Based on your reviews, maybe on a VERY slow night will watch.

Entertaining, that was about it. Not very realistic in a Navy or reality sense but again, was an action movie and provided entertainment.

Honestly the only sub movie I ever really liked was Crimson Tide.

Both Denzel and Gene Hackman were simultaneously right and wrong.
