robert y If you like PT boat type movies, it's a good WWII Naval movie. A lot of action and the acting isn't terrible. Not sure why such low ratings. It's not Das Boot but it's definitely worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Rodney B A cobbled together WWII movie with jarring parts, concerning an American naval officer serving in the Royal Navy on motor torpedo boats, first in the English Channel and then around Malta. A confused and improbable love triangle. And how likely would it be for an American naval officer to forget to salute an admiral of the Royal Navy? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Martin B No one will ever confuse this movie with the greats about WWII but it has some good moments. Worth the watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Its corny as hell... BUT i love it. It has a great style, very 70's Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
