Most helpful review Crimson Tide

  • Exciting mix of tension and personal conflict

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Denis Watkins from Pembrokeshire, Wales , 23 Jan 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I enjoyed this film from start to finish. The relationship between Gene Hackman (right wing macho man with hidden complexities) and Denzil Washington (liberal academic ready to take the tough decisions) was excellent. The scene where Hackman, surrounded by compliant officers, and Washington, cautiously oppposing Hackman, debate Clauswitz was brilliant. Rarely has so much been conveyed in so few words about the relationships in a group.

    Terrific entertainment with battle scenes to complement the word play.

  • Great ride of a film

    Rated - 4.5 stars

    Can't really fault this film - great script, great tension, great acting and a good-looking bluray. It's not about action it's about people so if you're not into dialogue you may not enjoy it, but if you do you're in for a treat

  • Thought Provoking

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer , 19 Dec 2011
    Wasn't sure at first, I ordered this after hearing the soundtrack and wanted to see what the film was like. Found myself being drawn in by the performances of Gene Hackman and Denzil Washington - brilliant acting by both. Thought provoking as we tried to work out which position we supported. Viggo Mortensen was excellent in the smaller part of the crew member torn between the two sides. The ending was satisfying, especially as all of us watching couldn't work out a way of bringing it all to a satisfactory conclusion. Never one for 'chick flicks' I thoroughly enjoyed this film, as did my husband.

  • Crimson Tide - submarine action unlimited

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By DouglasB (8 reviews) from Paisley , 31 Aug 2011
    This movie is one of the most enthralling dramas I have seen in recent years. The tension created in the action scenes made me feel I was actually on the USS Alabama submarine being forced to make the almost impossible decisions faced by the commanders. The plot which centres around a decision to fire a nuclear weapon and questions the USS navy protocol is handled with expert cinematic direction and the acting between Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman is superb. I would recommend this movie to any action devotee.
