Critics Consensus

Much like the submarine in its story, Hunter Killer cruises the murky action depths, following a perfunctory course into territory that's been charted many times before.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

Once all this starts coming together, Hunter Killer is absorbing, even if Marsh and his screenwriters never pretend to be half as interested in their characters as they are in the submarines.

Rated: 2.5/5

It's nice to spend a couple of hours in a fictional world where we don't have to worry about the American president doing something ruinously idiotic and evil. It plays like a nostalgic fairy tale.

[You'll] find more enjoyment watching a plastic yellow submarine sink to the bottom of a bathtub than watching this film.

Military stories in particular have long gotten away with total homogeneity, but the U.S. military is much more diverse than Hunter Killer suggests.

Saw this first time at the cinema when it was released. I know many didn’t agree with it but even second time of watching I found it entertaining. A great cast and Michael Nvquist’s last film with him dying far too young before its theatrical release.

In the line of high stakes submsrine movies it's no Hunt for Red October but an enjoyable enough way to fill an afternoon.

I borrowed this from the library and I'm so glad I didn't pay to see this. I'm extremley disappointed that Gary Oldman and Gerard Buttler would associate themselves with this director. I hope they know better for next time.
