Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

danzeisen Playing the captain of the Soviet sub which has an inadvertent collision with an American sub Rutger Hauer does a wonderfully understated job of acting the role. In fact I was pleasantly surprised by all the acting, especially being a TV film. The Soviet sub has a leak of missile fuel which catches fire with toxic fumes. Hauer contains the fire with desperate work by the crew, some of whom die in the effort. The fire threatens the reactor, which start to run out of control and must have manual control rods lowered in the reactor room. By this point they are low on oxygen and have a very small amount for use by the men selected for the job. "Hunt for Red October" while also sub movie is a different kind of movie, more in the tradition of a blockbuster. This movie shows the tension that the men feel, and breath, and is more subtle and realistic in showing how folks under pressure have to contain themselves and their situation to survive. Really a good movie, and yes, let's give Rutger Hauer some more good meaty roles like this one, he has shown the acting chops for it!

knottymonkey lots of flaws blah blah blah blah watch the movie so it was a cheap movie to make. back then HBO was making smart movies not BS main stream movies this one just like others made at that time were made to be watched and not picked apart so what just watch it and enjoy it.This was a different kind of role for Rutger Hauer he is very convincing in his role I liked it it will make you think listen to the sub-plot. lot of things happened in the cold war era. that most people will never know about so their are flaws the story is true and people died and people survived remember that and forget the flaws... there is always a bit of truth in every story

johandl Last Saturday I watched this movie at my home, and I was impressed by it. The movie was broadcasted just after Lethal Weapon II and after this show of macho heroism this movie was a releave to my state of mind. What I liked about it best was the script: it put down a story that just happened. No one was depicted as thé evil side of the movie and the heroes were just who they were, trying to survive.I am not familiar with the historical view of this movie, but it felt to me like a realistic event, that even could be happening this day or tomorrow.Most attention was paid to the role of Rutger Hauer, and I think he played this role fine. He did not (have to) show much of emotion in this movie, which confirmed his character as a solid submarine captain.The only thing I regret about this movie (as much as I regretted it in the movie "Fatherland" also played by Rutger Hauer) is the fact that both Russian and American speak fluently american. But maybe that is because I am not American myself...

Gunter Sharp The movie portrays a tightly scripted drama when a disaster occurs on a Soviet nuclear sub. It places the viewer in the narrow confines of the sub and reminds us of the dangers constantly faced by the crew. Potential weaknesses of nuclear fail-safe systems also become apparent.
