Movie review: K-19

[Jff24Gordn]

Saw K-19 last night. Very good sub movie. Right up there with Hunt for the Red October. Good acting, didnt rely on special effects. Very emotional, dramatic, and heroic. You could see the fear in the eyes of the actors as they went to die to attempt to save the rest of the crew.

The movie is based on a Soviet sub's madien voyage in 1961. Something happened and people died. Kept secret till the Soviet Union Fell. Its kind of long, 2:20. But earned a thumbs up from me and my friend. I had a free pass for 2 people to see a sneak preview. we got free t-shirts and posters.

Going to be hard to match up to Red October, though I thought Crimson Tide was pretty good.

The True Story of the K-19 Reveals the once secret and nearly forgotten accident aboard the Soviet's first ballistic missile submarine, the K-19.
