    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Some filming for this movie took place on an actual WWII submarine. The USS Silversides (which is available for tours) located in Muskegon, Michigan, was towed out into the middle of Lake Michigan where scenes with Bruce Greenwood were filmed. The Silversides had some minor re-painting done (rust coloration) but is now back to her original gray color. The rest of the sets and models used in this movie were all based on the look and layout of the Silversides.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 22 mins) When the crew comes out of the sub from the forward torpedo room, they walk up stairs. In submarines during the war, there were no stairs out of a ship; sailors climbed up ladders through hatches. They walked through the forward torpedo loading hatch that was opened, and stairs were added to the sub after turning it into a museum ship to make it convenient for tourists to enter and exit the sub.
    • Quotes

      Lt. Loomis: Sorry about what?

      Brice: Uh... she was... asking about Winters.

      Lt. Loomis: What'd you tell her?

      Brice: The story.

    • Crazy credits

    All in all a worth a watch

    Its's a bit weird that after all these years the overall rating is 6.1. I am no movie critic but I have watched this movie in my younger years and just did it again. And I can tell that nothing is fundamentally is wrong with it :/ . Acting is OK, story is enticing, effects are decent and soundtrack is befitting the vibe of the movie. Story is quite good too. I have watched every horror movie rated above 7 except black and white oldies and I rate it 6.5 easily.
