Crimson Tide. A properly good film, that. Denziel Washington is an excellent educated-black-guy to Gene Hackman's old-navy bruiser. It even raises some legitimate points about the old fog o' war. I do love a sub flick, as well.
I wonder why Hollywood never seems to shoot above-the-water naval flicks? Is it just too difficult, do you reckon? A proper director could make an
awesome movie out of the Battle off Samar, pathos and outrageous heroism coming out the arse. I wants it, give it to me now.
One personal gripe: it should have ended without telling the audience whether they had to launch or not. It would have left it up to the viewer's discretion. Opinion only, though.
