Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

gary-anderson683 Can anyone confirm if it's really so difficult to lower the rods in the reactor as shown in this film? I'd have thought that for a mechanism so important as this, there'd be a "release" button which dropped them. Or at least the pivot would be easily turned.Apart from that, as other posters have written, this is a fun Saturday night movie with some basis in fact. There are plenty worse. Why employ great actors like von Sydow but barely use him? There are clear influences from Das Boot and so on, but for the budget they have done a pretty good job. An experienced sailor commends it for its accurate portrayal of men under pressure, I note.

sddavis63 This is a very good Cold War drama about a cat and mouse game between American and Soviet nuclear submarines in the mid-Atlantic that turns potentially deadly after an accidental collision. Supposedly based on a real incident that took place shortly before the Reykjavik summit between Reagan and Gorbachev in 1986, the movie managed to capture well the level of mistrust between the two opposing subs and the dangers caused by that mistrust. Most of the action takes place on the Soviet sub, badly damaged after the collision with the crew desperately trying to get everything under control, while the Americans try to figure out exactly what the Soviets are up to.This is a relatively low budget, TV movie - and the low budget sometimes shows a bit, but all in all a worthwhile piece of entertainment. 8/10

Emma Oh my god, this movie was amazing!!! I'm a very big fan of Dominic Monaghan, but since I live in Sweden, I'm not able to see that much of him, so I was very, very, very happy when I looked through the newspaper and saw that they were going to show Hostile Waters!!! Then, I was a little disappointed that he only had like one line in the whole movie! But, it was still a great movie! I almost started to cry... Seriously!!! Well, it was a great movie, and I'm glad I taped it, 'cause I'm going to see it again!!!

akuma109 Not a bad film. The acting depicted the heroism and desperation that, as far as anyone (not in the submarine or military intelligence community) can know, really occurred. Based upon the truth (or at least what is generally known). After the 'Kursk' incident, this film seems a lot better and probably more realistic than other submarine movies... with the exception of 'Das Boot'. May not be 'edge of your seat' excitement, but certainly more real than "U-571".
