Peter Bradshaw Guardian It's entertaining to revisit the classic tropes of submarine movies: claustrophobia, tense silence, sweating faces, cat-and-mouse strategy - all ingeniously played out between people who are supposed to be on the same team. Rated: 3/5 Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out The plot, which heads off in some improbable directions, recalls 'The Spy Who Loved Me' in a way you suspect it's not supposed to. Rated: 3/5 Nov 29, 2019 Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter An altogether gripping experience... placing a young man with exceptional hearing powers at the heart of an apocalyptic scenario that only he can resolve. Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Fans of military thrillers will likely be satisfied, but in all honesty they deserve something a little better for their time and money. Rated: 6/10 Feb 26, 2020 Full Review Kat Hughes THN Easily the best submarine movie since Crimson Tide, The Wolf's Call is a strong action-thriller that will keep you riveted. Rated: 4/5 Dec 5, 2019 Full Review Eddie Harrison The List The Wolf's Call nails the kind of hard-nosed heroism that audiences may well be missing.

Edgar M This is a fantastic old-school war thriller that evokes the golden age of submarine films. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Mark B Good tension in this sub movie. I little too much sap and long holds on.people and situations could have cut 15 minutes and made it better movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Dave C A thoroughly engaging and thrilling war drama with more than the obvious submarine-shaped links to the likes of Crimson Tide and U-571. The focus on the AWA really helps to sharpen the suspense, as well as acting as a good hook into the story. From start-to-finish this is well-written, well-acted, and directed in a manner perfectly matched to the aforementioned Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Camille M Un très beau film, interprété avec justesse par de belles têtes d'affiche. Il nous met sous tension jusqu'à la dernière minute. Un scénario brillant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Paul C Easily the best submarine movie I have seen. The scenario is also quite plausible. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Test T I watched this on DVD. I think the actors were speaking French, and an English audio track has been added later, because it felt unnatural and the lip sync looked wrong. That aside, I liked Das Boot, Crimson Tide and Hunt For Red October, but this movie falls short. It felt cold and detached, and the characters's seemed bland. In short, it has no heart, and without it, I found myself disinterested hoping it would soon come to an end. The soundtrack is cold as well, and I found the sonar noises unpleasant and irritating. If you are French, you may feel differently, but I did not enjoy this film at all, and I would not recommend it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
