      Audience Member Good action, good simulation (for 1958), fair plot. Still not sure why he did not set the torpedoes to run deeper and go under the transport to hit the carrier... may not have worked but if it would have, then, of course then no plot! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Torpedo Run holds up better better than most old submarine movies and appears to be technically more accurate than most. It's not up to the standard of Das Boot, but definitely worth watching. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the great submarine movies! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the greatest of it's genre as it doesn't explore too well Glenn Ford's dilemma and psyche, but as an action drama it does tick the box. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member wow umnn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch....its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie....i think that glenn ford, ernest borgnine, diane brewster play good roles/parts throughout this movie....i think that the director of this drama/war/action/adventure movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie its a brilliant war movie n its a good story throughout this movie n its enjoyable Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Mediocre WWII submarine film that's made entertaining by the presence of Glenn Ford and Ernest Borgnine. Not available on DVD but TCM showed an nice widescreen version of the film on cable. Rock on TCM! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
