David M 08/16/2024 A late entry in the 70s Disaster Films that closed that decade in good fashion.With Charlton Heston as a Season Navy Admiral.And Ronny Cox as commissioned Captain.On an ill fated Last voyage of a submarine that get struck by a Norwegian Freighter.This is a strong Character Driven Story,With standout Performances.Not only by the two leads But a young Christopher Reeves.And a Snarky David Carradine who clashes with the Navy Brass.But he’s the only who just might be able to save them .On the edge of your seat Suspense.As the air runs out. See more andy f 07/15/2021 A classic 70s disaster movie. No filler, all action and so refreshing. Heston steers things along admirably. See more 11/11/2018 Not a bad movie , Heston is great. See more 05/03/2018 Average disaster film, that is brought up a level by it's great cast. Not much action for an adventure/thriller, but it's slow burn gives you time to connect with some of these characters. Characters who seem a little too calm, given their predicament. See more 01/10/2018 It takes a special kind of effort to make such an inherently dramatic story feel like a day in the office. What specifically? Too much lighting, unconvincing acting, and way too many missed opportunities - its only plot is what it says on the box, no side plots, no twists. Even the couple intense scenes it finally gets in the end have less tension than a dinner conversation in Das Boot. I think its only saving grace is its age, predating the latter. It's watchable, but in the end, I felt nothing at all, like after a long documentary on something boring (and it's very far from a documentary). See more 09/13/2016 Its trailer might suggest it to be a cheap 70's disaster movie, but it's actually pretty good. Also stars the underrated Charlton Heston. See more Read all reviews
