This is certainly a film which came out of nowhere. It took me
completely by surprise - a war epic set almost exclusively inside a
submarine? How could it possibly be gripping, or exciting, or even
interesting?
How wrong my thinking proved to be, when I began watching Das Boot and
was sucked into life onboard this vessel. The performances are wholly believable and exciting. The captain - a stereotypical war movie captain
- is given a heart and a mind and proves to hold the ship together. The
whole movie is an exercise in tense situations, and succeeds in being
extremely well done.
