When I rented this I thought it would be just another submarine themed thriller. I was wrong. It is an excellent film starring Ed Harris as the Russian captain of an atomic sub on its last patrol before being scrapped. Why Harris, who suffers with psychiatric problems as the result of a bad incident in his past, is chosen to take this final patrol ( also his last before retirement ) is revealed when an extreme Russian operative ( David Duchovny ) and his men take over the sub.
Plenty of suspense as Harris works to go about reclaiming his sub. It's a tightly written, well paced story and well acted, especially by Harris as the troubled captain. :T
