This is supposed to be a World War II movie. However, the very first scene captions that the year is 1918. There are US Naval Officers with unshaven faces working desk jobs. Incorrect uniforms for the period. Improper military customs and courtesies. Showcase of well-known US Naval Admiral Samuel Gravely is odd since he joined the military during WWII and didn't become a Captain (as depicted in the movie) until several decades later. I'm assuming it's artistic liberty done on purpose. My question is- was anyone whose actually been in the Navy even consulted? Everything on top of the fact that this is total historical fiction….this didn't happen. I could suspend the disbelief if it weren't for all the distractions that I am mentioning here.

This movie sucked. Glaring historical inaccuracies. German u boats never had a V1 on them, Hellcats were not used in the Atlantic theater except some British ones in Norway. There were no black captains of any us navy ship until the 60s. It became more entertaining to see all the stuff they tried to add to history just to make the movie more politically correct. The dialoge was just bad and the cg scenes could have been created on a apple computer. This had no redeeming qualities at all and never should have been put into production by anyone. Guess Dolph needed a paycheck or something and seeing Fred savage in any movie now was amusing.

Why waste all the effort not to follow a bit of history? Drunk U-boat captains? Poor, banal dialog, US navy looks like it's from the 2000s and acts like it's Vietnam.

This film is so cliché-infested you'll wonder if you've seen it before (and you probably did see one scene, a brazen ripoff of the Panzerlied from The Battle of the Bulge.) Operation Seawolf stitches together every World War 2 trope in the book to create a barely interesting plot that's best for watching while doing something more interesting. The acting is spotty: Dolph Lundgren actually makes a believable U-Boat skipper leading one last mission at the wrong end of the war, but the supporting cast ranges from averageto overwrought. If you don't get your hopes up beforehand, you might not be too disappointed.

Not bad as a fiction story but historically, the USS Kidd with the 'all Black crew' appears BLM woke fiction. The Kidd was in the Pacific and was at the battle of Okinawa in 1945. Further more the FIRST Black naval officer was commissioned in March of 1943, leaving, I'm afraid too little time to rise to the rank of Captain in two years. All this is troublesome to a history buff but it was never the less an entertaining movie.

Flickering Myth

Operation Seawolf provides a solid war film that ventures away from the usual point of view, giving us a complicated protagonist who Lundgren provides a weary gravitas.

...more of a war drama than anything else and war film aficionados should be happy with this one, however the general viewing public may get a little bored.

Operation Seawolf delivers a disappointingly mediocre film wrapped in a frustratingly tone-deaf approach to its subject matter.

Lyles' Movie Files

Too often Operation Seawolf feels dead in the water just waiting for some pockets of excitement and intrigue that never come. There’s some potential with the story, but it washes away far too quickly.

Rated: 4/10

May be a bit too ambitious for its budget, but it's well worth seeking out for anyone with a rooting interest in Dolph Lundgren.

A B-movie WWII actioner that sinks into C-movie more often than you’d like.
