During the first scene, I was 75% sure that this film was going to be crap, then at the end of the opening credits I saw that it was directed by Steven Luke, and that made it 100%. The scene included the sinking of a U-Boat, but in a later scene, we see that one of the officers escaped the sunken submarine, but with no explanation.
The acting is bad, the haircuts and mousse are modern, the terminology is wrong, and the plot is implausible. In addition, a U. S. destroyer is portrayed with an African American captain and bridge crew, even though the racist policies of the U. S. Navy until after WW2 forbade African Americans from being anything other than cooks and stewards.
Of course there are numerous other problems with the film, but I'm not going to spend more time on it than I already have. I have to wonder if Luke's films actually make any money, or if he just has millions of dollars from some other source that he's able to throw away on this hobby.
