This won the Academy Award for worst movie ever made. It is craptastic. Similar to the other reviewers, I spent 8 years in the Navy on submarines and had to laugh out loud several times during this. Between this movie and Crimson Tide, one would think that the Commanding Officer of a U.S. submarine is at the whim of the XO(Crimson Tide) or JAG(this movie) to be relieved of command at a moments notice. I know it's the movies but 3 men picking up a 3500 pound torpedo plus a submarine that can withstand a direct torpedo hit AND a mini-sub loaded with C-4 AND take a Tomahawk through it's belly is ridiculously ridiculous. There is one point in the movie where one of the men is calling off depths as the boat is going down and he says passing 1600 while in the camera shot the depth gage shows 1026. If the people who make the movie don't care, why is the viewer supposed to? Watch the end credits and you will see the entire crew who worked on this travesty are Russians, every name ends in -ov. I'm sure the US Navy had NOTHING to do with this garbage. Lastly, you DO NOT salute on a submarine or when not wearing a cover(hat). Maybe they should have paid a Navy vet $20 to be the technical advisor.
