      Dan Fienberg Zap2it.com Watch Run Silent, Run Deep. Then watch K:19. Then complain that "They don't make 'em like they used to." Rated: 4/5 Sep 10, 2005 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Director Robert Wise makes good use of the story’s confined setting. Rated: 3/4 Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Christopher Lloyd The Film Yap The terrifically tense submarine genre starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster still pings with its authentic claustrophobic setting and mano a mano standoff between captain and XO. Rated: 4.5/5 Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) ... An eventful yarn, but the main attraction is the casting.

      Narciso R Awesome movie, Clark gable. Practice makes perfect. NRJ. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review ed m Pretty good war flick. Clark Gable is awesome. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/04/23 Full Review edward j It was an outstanding submarine movie! The realistic action scenes, the acting of 2 GREAT Hollywood stars as believable U..Navy captains, the tense excitement that made us feel we were "there", all combined to rate this 5 stars in our opinion. My Dad was in the Navy in WW2 from 1941-1945 ,signed up right after Pearl Harbor was attacked Dec.7th,1941, on a destroyer against Japanese and I remember him telling me this was the BEST movie about submarine warfare as it really happened just like that! He survived from 2 of his ships being sunk in battle but they destroyed several of the enemy! I take his recommendation since he actually was there and lived through the war! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review dustin d Run Silent, Run Deep combines a personal drama about two egos in a World War II submarine setting, creating two exciting story lines. It has a confident, unhurried pace, yet contains few unnecessary elements. They really don't make movies like this anymore. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review james g Watch this one for Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. Not to mention Robert Wise's great direction inside a claustrophobic submarine. Some reviewers say this is one of the best submarine movies ever. Yea, it is. But I found Don Rickles just sort of distracting. Wrong role? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Liam D A Tense and satisfying movie This Drama I highly recommend even if you're not a fan of War movies like I am Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/21 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
