Frank J. Avella Edge Media Network Devil in the Deep is highly recommended for a quartet of queer and queer-friendly stars, as well as an intense finale that is early filmmaking at its finest. Rated: A- Oct 26, 2021 Full Review Pare Lorentz Vanity Fair I can advise you that with The Devil and The Deep an actress heralded by press and press agents alike as the greatest actress since Duse, has let them down once and for all.

nick s Some of the acting/direction at the start of the film felt a little stagey, but it settled down into quite an entertaining story. The commanders actions might seem far fetched, but I know there are parellels to his behaviour in the aviation industry. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review Steve D It really hasn't held up besides the acting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
