    Very entertaining action movie.

    I don't usually write reviews, but after coming back home from watching a bore at the cinema we needed a pick me up movie, and this was it. If you liked Olympus has fallen , you will like this one.

    Why all the haters?

    A very good action movie. I nearly passed it by because of the IMDb rating but so glad I didn't.

    Since when did a script that stretches reality make it bad? Anyone seen Avengers...?!

    Full of action, excitement, plot twists and yes a bit gung ho but so what.

    Don't miss it if you like war/action movies.

    I like this movie

    Not a deep plot, but entertaining and fun to watch at least once.

    Surprisingly Awesome! Not the movie you think!

    Indeed this wasn't the classic American good guys vs Russian bad guys. This movie is a nice action thriller, in which good and bad guys aren't defined by a flag. Good acting, good direction, and overall, good knowledge of the military systems that were or could have been involved in the movie's scenario. Certainly is not my favorite submarine movie, but you will love this one, the best in the modern era. Is really satisfying. The only bad thing is that the movie is self-contained and there won't be a part II.

    A Masterpiece, brutally shot down by hypocritical reviews

    I believe all those critics out there who panned this action flick could not fathom the thought that normal human beings can pull off a heroic act. I guess they are cool with bunch of lab experiments saving the world again and again despite all the differences but when the same feat is pulled off by normal looking characters who happen to be well trained officers then it all of a sudden becomes outlandish. Yes, we indeed have seen a lot of rescue missions but what makes this so different is that very few were pulled off by brave men from both sides (obviously enemies of each other by worldly rules) for the right cause. Off course this doesn't happen in real life, but seriously were you here to witness a documentary on war? No offense to anyone but I believe there is a certain group out there lobbying against this guy, I don't know for what reason, but this surely is very unprofessional to allow your personal grudges creep into the professional front.

    There is nothing wrong with this flick except for the hypocritical reviews that made it a box office disaster!

    • Trivia
      To gain more authenticity, the filming and production team has partnered with the US Navy on virtually every aspect of Hunter Killer's design.
    • Goofs
      Hiding underwater can stop bullets from hitting you. All supersonic bullets (up to .50-caliber) slow dramatically/stop or disintegrate in less than 3 feet (90 cm) of water, but slower velocity bullets, like pistol rounds, need up to 8 feet (2.4 m) of water to slow to non-lethal speeds. Bullet Proof Water, 360 Degree Swing (2005)(#3.14).
