COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Das Boot submitted by SBNB on August 7, 2018, 8:47pm This is a long movie, but it's pretty good. Rather slow at points, but I enjoyed it.

Good premise submitted by ccrose on August 31, 2019, 9:48am When men who are accustomed to ruthless attack on British ships get the tables turned and suddenly realize they are as vulnerable as those they have stalked. It is long but the acting is superb and racking in the fog of war when nothing really makes sense.
