Crimson Tide

Well I finally got my hands on one of the best underwater war movies, in recent time (The Hunt for the Red October also come to mind) This edition is a Dvd edition with directors comments, behind the scenes and etc etc Boooya!!!!!

This is a 11 year old movie but a superb sound track by Hanz Zimmer haunting and poetic and dramatic takes you to the edge of your seat.







Even the cast it self from, 11 years ago each a superb actors on its own, maybe you will recognize the names

Denzel Washington .... Lt. Commander Ron Hunter
Gene Hackman .... Capt. Frank Ramsey
Matt Craven .... Lt. Roy Zimmer, USS Alabama Communications Officer
George Dzundza .... Chief of the Boat
Viggo Mortensen .... Lt. Peter 'WEAPS' Ince
James Gandolfini .... Lt. Bobby Dougherty


The movie is comparable to "Hunt For Red October". Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman show a damm good performance and the movie also shows in a quite realistic way what can happen if the leading officers of a submarine have a very different sight of the situation and of how to react properly. What I also like is the fact that the different judgement on the situation is also somehow explained by the background of the two characters.

Soundtrack, Actors, Plot script damm damm good
