Mae Tinee Chicago Tribune It's inept, and cliche ridden, with our hero being woodenly noble for every Inch of the footage. Jun 18, 2020 Full Review David N. Butterworth rec.arts.movies.reviews Less "the thundering story of the mighty bring-'em-out-alive mission of the USS Poe," and more a character study of a conflicted man of faith. And in that latter regard, "The Deep Six" succeeds. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 17, 2016 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Dull war pic.

ashley h Deep Six is a horrible film. It is about the conflict of duty and conscience of a naval gunnery officer. There was no action and the conflicts were not well dramatized. Alan Ladd did not put much effort into this role even though I liked him in the movie Shane. The script is dull and boring. Rudolph Maté did a terrible job with directing this movie. I would not recommend this motion picture. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
