A reminder that we're all human.
I thought it was just OK. It's no Das Boot, but the score and some of the visuals were nice. I found the fake Russian accents to be an immersion-breaker. I much prefer movies based on true events to use actors that speak the language of the people who were there. It feels more natural. I think it's also a bit distracting for the audience when they see a big Hollywood actor like Harrison Ford or Liam Neeson, you don't expect them to be Russian.

Based on actual events, K-19: The Widowmaker is an intense and suspenseful military thriller. The story follows the maiden voyage of a Soviet nuclear submarine, but during its sea trials it suffers a critical reactor failure. Starring Harrison Ford, Liam Neeson, and Peter Sarsgaard, the film has a solid cast. And, director Kathryn Bigelow does an impressive job at building tension and giving a visceral feel to submarine life. Additionally, composer Klaus Badelt delivers an extraordinary score that brilliantly compliments the film. Remarkably well-crafted, K-19: The Widowmaker is a compelling drama about a fascinating piece of history.
