Worst U-Boat movie ever

JackRyan66

This has to be the worst u-boat movie ever. There are huge factual errors making the thing nearly unwatchable. Just some of the worst: - In WWII you didn't shoot at other submerged U-Boats with torpedoes because the chance of hitting were - as the torpedoes of this time were not guided by any means but just followed a preset straight path and detection was mostly based on hearing - ZERO. - You don't shoot at submerged boats with artillery. If the boat's close enough to give you a chance to hit the trajectory of the shells would be quite flat.

The military advice they got for this movie was probably from "Red October", they just forgot that 30 years changed a lot in naval warfare technology.

Beside that: Horrible Script and quite bad acting of many of the others - Schweiger was more or less OK and Kretschmann was quite good, but Caan... such a weak performance (again). He didn't improve a bit since he played the bully in Enemy of the state.

I'm very disappointed that Macey played in this B-Movie. He should know better.

score 1/10
