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. Go to Full Review Pare Lorentz Vanity Fair 06/04/2019

nick s 10/27/2023 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. See more Steve D 01/09/2023 It really hasn't held up besides the acting.
