Miggy D Inconsistent authenticity took away a bit of the pleasure for me but this is coming from an old salt. What irked me would slip past 99.9%, e.g. the unthinkable chance sighting of a burning tanker through the bridge wing door, and by the cute radio op of all people who spent most of her time anywhere but the radio shack. The crew lolling around in the ship's mess during an air attack instead of at stations was farcical. The sea state in the Barents Sea is not the pond it asked us to believe, summer or not. And yet, amongst all the clangers was the authentic old ship and equipment, especially the period radio equipment. Best of all was the perfect morse code -it's usually laughable gobbledegook. I totally understand you feeling relieved you're not me. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Patrick M This flick, dubbed as "action, thriller", took almost an hour to become action at all. I see it as more of a drama. Entirely dubbed from German, I watched all the way through, found it to be unrewarding. I did feel some emotion regarding how it might have felt. However, with the exception of a few tense moments, it was no where near as exciting I had hoped. That all being said, drama in the face of adversity may appeal to some. On Hulu you get a choice of 👍 up or 👎 down. No in between. No way I would give it two thumbs up, so down it is. Based loosely on a true story, it had some impact in that respect. Not so much action though, if that's what you are looking for. I was disappointed. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Benjamin H Gode skuespillerprestasjoner og noen godt håndterte sekvenser som fanger opp uroen fra denne tiden får Konvoien litt fram, men jeg følte meg ikke emosjonelt fenget av måten filmen viser fram denne historien på og den har samtidig også en veldig brå slutt som føltes bare veldig tynt. Alt i alt, en okei krigsfilm i seg selv, men den etterlater ikke noe inntrykk hos meg. Translated to english Good performances and some well handled sequences that captures the unease from this time gets the Convoy moving slightly forward, but i didn't feel emotionally captivated by the way the film depicts this story, and it does at the same time have a very abrupt ending that felt very thin. All in all, an okay war movie in and of itself, but one that doesn't leave me with any impressions. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Stone G This is one of those overly hyped, but not very realistic, adventure films. The film suffers from very poor writing and situations that are so unrealistic that even the basic suspension of disbelief is stretched thin. You will drive yourself crazy with, “that doesn’t make sense?” or, “why didn’t they do this?” questions. The answer is poor writing. This is a movie you put on so there’s noise in the background while you’re doing something else. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Waylon H I simply don't understand the rating for this movie. I was looking forward to an intelligent portrayal of a terrible situation. Instead, I got an utterly farcical attempt to continue to heighten tension. So much was just thrown in without thought. Why on earth could they not have stopped or sent the lifeboat back to save the crew who fell overboard? Do you have any idea how absurd it would be to fire an antiaircraft weapon from the hold with the actual hope to hit something? This is a ship with metal working capabilities, as is evidences by one sailor arc welding. so why couldn't they use an acetylene or propane torch to gently heat the frozen gun that would have. actually had a chance of shooting down the plane? I've welded most of my life and to just say, well it's frozen, so we need to use the gun from deep, deep in the hold is ridiculous. You would have a better chance to knock the plane down by throwing pennies into the air. The effects were nicely done. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Pongo K The actors seem not to care very much. No ups or downs really. And they talk very fast, and low, quite often. They have the same face expressions through the whole movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
