Christopher K As a Navy vet. This has to be the worse thing I could ever emagine. Did they even try. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review Maria C this is for the Crash Dive with Tyrone Power - there are two different films here, and the cast is also mixed up. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/06/17 Full Review Audience Member Nothing very interesting here. Thrilling at times, dull for the most. The characters are lacking, and the action is bland. The story seems like typical terrorist-hijacking material. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Another ultra b-movie with c-actors. Not shitty bad, but still bad. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Der gelernte Kinderpsychologe Michael Dudikoff verließ das Filmgeschäft, da er seiner Meinung nach in viel zu vielen schlechten Filmen mitgespielt hat und auf solchen Projekten nicht seine ganze Karriere aufbauen kann – sieht man sich "Crash Dive" an kann man dies auf jeden Fall verstehen, bedauert diese Entscheidung als Trash-begeisterter Actionfan allerdings auch. Denn "Crash Dive" ist keinesfalls ein guter Film, er ist allerdings tatsächlich so schlecht, dass er die meiste Zeit über einfach nur Spaß macht. Die Story ist lachhaft und besteht zu großen Teilen nur aus Klischees, ohne dabei Überraschungen zu bringen. Dadurch wird es dem Zuschauer ein besonders Leichtes, sich die billigen Sets und durchschnittlichen Darstellerleistungen etwas näher anzusehen und sich über eben jene zu mockieren. Für Fans trashiger B-Actionstreifen ist dieser Unterwasserausflug des charismatischen Michael Dudikoff eine Empfehlung auf jeden Fall wert. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Strictly routine action thriller. Nothing outstandiung about this film. The cast is okay, the pace is decent but nothing to brag about. Some good action sequences and a few lulls in the story as well. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
