A commander of an Italian submarine sinks a Belgian ship and puts his men lives at risk to save twenty-six men left adrift in the ocean.

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

It’s an absorbing story in its way, told in a forthright, un-complex, undemanding manner... Favino also brings to the movie his own potent, unselfconscious masculinity.

Rated: 3/5

Raphael Abraham

Financial Times

It’s a bad sign when the highlight of a film involves men making chips — here members of the Italian navy looking on in awed wonder as Belgian rescuees slice potatoes.

Rated: 2/5

TheWrap

“Comandante,” for all its dopiness and national mythologizing, is basically a well-intentioned call for tolerance.

The Arts Desk

For all the modern touches, this ends as the kind of sea yarn Jack Hawkins helmed in the Fifties.

Rated: 3/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

Comandante is exciting, well-produced and different enough from other recent war films to overcome weaknesses in its script and production.

Rated: 3/5

Limelight

Submarine movie jollies aside, Italy's Das Boot feels weighed down by a sense of purpose lying outside of the drama itself.

Massimo C

Intense, real, touching, but just for Italian speakers, accents, dialects and Italian background is too important to understand deep down the meaning behind the storyline. Pierfrancesco Favino Is an outstanding actor, great in every movie, skilled like few. Top
