Another case of a potentially decent cast, at least some of them, in search of a script.

I usually do a quick flip thru before I watch the movie to see what is in store and was kinda impressed. One or two stages were OK for a budget film, almost good. As to rest, let's just say it is likely that the director and crew never bothered to visit any of the over 200 submarines on display, nor watched any of the many good submarine movies out there.

Don't expect much from the acting. Not sure many of them even watched a good navy film to get into character. A few exceptions maybe.

But worst of all is the script. The specific events that make, or more often break, the movie are completely unbelievable. Good Sci-fi movies can make you believe in anything because they make sure the setup and the expected basics (the hows, the cast reactions, etc) are believable. Not this movie. You barely start down the path of believing something and then it falls apart quite quickly.

The only reason to watch this is to see how to take a possible 3 to 4 star movie, and make it a 1 or 2. (I gave 2 only because I saw something in a few cast members.)

Another group trying of would be actors that fail miserably. Half 'from the POV of the video camera' and half of a senseless movie that is all garbage.

You can tell at least some of the actors are trying, and there might actually be some talent in these cast members, but why oh why did they even think this was going to work.

There are some redeeming qualities. The production quality isn't bad, and like I said, there is some talent there. They are only missing a script that doesn't come across as being written over a weekend and a director that has a clue. Fix those two issues and it might even garner a 2nd star.

The punch line ... just avoid this movie, as most low budget shark movies are better,

It looks like anyone with a camera and basic computer graphics skills thinks they can make a movie. This cast MAY even have a modicum of skill (and is the only reason I didn't give one star), but this movie won't show it. Is it so hard to TRY to think of the details?

The script ... oh please. I am not saying the writer needs to join the army, but at least they could have done a little research with a decent war movie or two. Small example, in the military rank is EVERYTHING, so much of the side banter is worse then useless. This movie was COMPLETELY unbelievable.

The acting was acceptable for a low budget film, but again the details killed the experience. As just examples, military types don't wear SNEAKERS on a mission. They also know how to hold a weapon.

But don't hope the directing can save the day as they made the worst of using a minimum of different shot locations ... a house, the hills, and not much else.
