FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

jdonalds-5 I am a real WWII fan. So much so that my son and I took a vacation in France in 2010 during which we visited the beaches and museums of Normandy. We stayed in a Bed and Breakfast that was occupied by German officers during the war. We even watched, for the first time, The Band Of Brothers series in that bed and breakfast.I will watch just about any movie that has to do with WWII, my favorites being those related to hardware, ships, tanks, airplanes, submarines, heavy artillery, etc. I can't count the number of WW II movies I've watched, some of them so excellent I watched them multiple time, some so bad they were almost intolerable. This 1997 version of Crash Dive was so bad I actually couldn't watch it.I managed to get through about 20 minutes of Crash Dive 1997 before I had to cut it off. The acting was so bad, even in a couple of cases by a seasoned actor, direction was the worst, and the dialog was truly awful. From the early moments where sailors were disrespectful with their officers I knew this would be at least a B movie. But when they rescued the Russians off the raft, then left them unguarded I began to doubt my ability to get through the whole thing.I finally cut it off and watched the 1943 version which was MUCH better. However the two movies share a name, but the story lines are not at all alike. Crash Dive 1943 is a WWII romantic comedy, not a sub movie.Don't waste your time on Crash Dive 1997.

wing_a This was a really bad movie. It uses every cliché ever known to man, the 'romance' was even less unbelievable than most bad movies, and it was completely militarily inaccurate. Case in point: Catherine Bell's character Lt. Cmdr Lisa Starks was referred to as "Lieutenant" by all other characters. And she answered the phone with "Lieutenant Stark". Uh hello. A Lt. Cmdr is always addressed as "Commander." You'd think that even without any sort of original story line that they would have at least tried to get the technical details right Don't bother seeing this one. U-571 is much better. And Stealth is much more entertaining even if its kinda cliché too.

erwan_ticheler Michael Dudikoff is one of those "actors" in Hollywood that makes his living on B grade action movies that don't have any story or fun what so ever.The same goes for "Crash Dive", a totally inert flick that borrows heavily from "Under Siege","Die Hard" and so forth.The acting is horrible as is the story.Come on,a middle east terrorist group (that contains Russian speaking Germans WAAHAA) that invades a sub marine and then wants to destroy New York or Washington to rule the world.The same old story told without any humor.I'm starting to feel a little sea sick now...At one point I was cheering for the terrorists,I mean who would put nukes on a sub.Then you're begging for total destruction.Dudikoff is no action hero and he wouldn't be a good terrorist either,he's below that. And then that ugly "Russian" woman,she looks awful,why couldn't she die earlier? No surprises,bad acting,a dull story.lame one liners and ridiculous special effects (the explosion in the Empire State Building is stuff from the forties,I mean really) make for a totally forgettable VHS B grade movie. Dudikoff should be fired once and for all or killed by those movie terrorists...2/10 (just because it's not that awful for a 1.)

Mauro Lorenzoni A movie to see if you are not in the mood for some heavy thinking. There is plenty of action, the usual amount of dead people, and some pretty decent special effects. The movie is your standard terrorist movie, although it has the twist that these terrorists are working from inside a nuclear submarine. Since large parts of the plot are not too believable, the viewer should watch this in a relaxed state, just to enjoy some adrenaline, and not pay attention to the odd things that sometimes happen (like the guy can swim faster than the sub or a laptop computer that melts like it was made of foam). All in all, enjoyable if you are bored.
