This film is almost unbearable because of its lack attention to basic Naval details. The worst offender is the constant sonar pinging while underway. Any sub operating that way giving away its would be sunk in no time. There would not have been a black American bridge crew in WWII. The uniforms are poor and incorrect. The commands to steer one direction but move the rudder in the opposite is just nonsense. The Submariners might not have been clean clean shaven but the line officers would be. It makes the American Commander look like a LARP'r. During the depth charge scene there is no disruption inside the U boat even after a hit. Other reviews point out even more issues so I will not take the time here.
Added to all the flawed Naval presentation is poor character development and missed opportunities for good plot development. Overall the effects see fair, the acting is average, the plot is average to bpoor, the details are messed up, and the story telling is 100% B movie. I like U boat movies. I'm a sucker for them and usually give them some latitude. They usually at least show some good Naval combat and underwater scenes. This movie fails to deliver. Don't waste your time.
