Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very well made DVD, well worth the $$$. Plus this is an awesome movie.

EXCELENT MOVIE, GREAT PLOT WITH LOT OFF UP AND DOWN WITH TWO GREAT ACTOR.

Great quality DVDs, quick delivery , enjoyed the experience

I enjoy the movie. This was Denzel's and Tony Scott's first of five collaborations. The only thing I didn't like was I didn't realize when I bought the movie that it wasn't enhanced for widescreen TV's so the picture was condensed from top to bottom.

Not as good as "The Hunt for Red October" but still very enjoyable.

A great combination of denzel Washington and Gene hackman.

Bought as a gift. One of Denzel Washington's best movies.

this movie is an all time must see, denzel is hott

the quality of the dvd was a little poor. I had to zoom into the video to make it reasonable to watch on a 55 inch tv.

With the exception of lack of stock on sales items, I am very satisfied with Best Buy's DVD trade in program.

Quality of DVD is super bad, says wide screen but it was a bad quality box. Not happy with purchase, would return but I kept it too long. Recommend you DO NOT purchase

Seeing this for the first time in ages, it still works as a tight, suspenseful, military thriller. The plot is quite good (I'm still not sure if it's plausible) and the main characters are well developed. It treats you like an adult when you're watching it, not like a bag of adrenaline. There are the stereotypical machismo cliches which seem to be required in all military movies, but they are very brief here. The acting overall is fine, but Gene Hackman of course steals the show as the intimidating captain. I had forgotten how many other actors who are now recognizable are in this film. The extras are really lacking for a bluray. There is already an extended cut of this film on a previous DVD. I'm not sure if the deleted scenes included here make up any part of that. The "on-set" feature is just actors clowning around, sometimes working, but it goes on too long. The "behind the scenes" feature is little more than a contemporary, lengthy ad. I still don't know if the story could happen, how the idea came about, what the details and decisions were in making it. The most pointless feature is the "Showcase" which simply jumps to scenes considered the best for the bluray format. It looks as good as any bluray, but as most of the movie takes place on a dark sub, it's really not the best showcase for the format. I would recommend the movie as a smart, tense action-thriller, but this release needed some more features.

Before the President was the only one authorized to launch a nucular bomb from a submarine - the sub commander was the man with the authorization! This movie is about a sub commander with an itchy trigger finger and a crew that back's him up, but when they are cut off from communication and there last received message was not clear they have to make a decision rather to launch a nucular strike or stand down. This isn't one of these nucular dissaster films, it's more of an action Navy movie and is in many way's alot like " The Hunt for Red October ". A story about what could have happened and a real must see movie!

The acting was just awesome , You cant get any better than Gene Hackman as the captain and Denzel as the XO .The aspect of the situation is something that could happen but far fetched, Over all its an awesome movie with you wondering what was going to happen next , and who was right ,in there military beliefs in that situation.

This is a good movie that looks into the question of nuclear strike and is terribly horrific in its realism. I would recommend you see this if you haven't already and this blu-ray is a great leap forward from the previous DVD.

This is a very good movie featuring two great actors. The drama is very intense, and catches you at the edge of your seat. This is a classic movie that should be seen... much better than U-571 and right up there with the Hunt for Red October.

When one of the most powerful men in the world orders the launch of nuclear missles, his second in command takes control of the ship. This is so realistic it will keep you on the edge of your seat!

I have liked this movie since it was in theaters. The blu-ray is excellent. Good story, great acting, great picture and sound.

The movie is an excellent buy. The actors are terrific and the movie flows.

This movie tells a good story and has a pretty good cast. Overall a pretty good movie.
