(Paulette Watts, 2009-10-13) Clearly the acting is superb, but to see it again in blu-ray clarity is just great!
(E. Marke, 2009-04-16) Great video, I used it as part of leadership training in decision making and staff development.
(B. Ray, 2009-02-28) This is a wonderful movie. It is like a modernization of the Captain Queeg tale, with much more serious consequences potential in the eccentricity. Denzel Washington's character takes a difficult stand based on a clearer head considering the effects of what the captain proposes. There is a delineation of loyalties between the crew, forced to take sides. One old friend has to make a most difficult choice, and his hesitation itself saves the day in the end. Highly suspenseful, extremely realistic, and with an end that is almost satisfying, though colored by centuries of tradition. Fine performances by at least a dozen actors, including some who often get roles less important to the suspense. The story shows how important the efforts of all members of the crew are to safety and mission accomplishment. Heroism comes from staying on a hopeless task, from going against personal feelings, from recognizing when right is more important than power. Everyone should see this film.
(Robert D. Goldberg, 2008-12-14) This movie is a lot of fun and Gene Hackman is his usual talented self, although he reminds me of slim pickens in Dr. Strangelove - although he is portrayed as a well meaning guy, but the plot has more holes than a leaky barge. A nuclear sub only has one radio? If this is true we are in alot of trouble, The fate of the world rests on one man - the radio man??? A captain who ignores a countermanding, or at least modified command, before destroying the world. It would be his duty to find out what was on that message, not a nuisance. If he had to place his boat in jeopardy, so be it. I hope this is not the way we decide how to destroy the world. Scary.
(Dennis D., 2008-06-20) the movie is great, but just like they did on DVD, the unrated extended edition will be released after people buy this version
