K19 - Widowmaker

USA 2002, 133 minutes
Dir. Kathryn Bigelow
Rating: [M]
Genres: Suspense/Crime, Action/Adventure / War

Topics: Maritime, Period 1960s.

Aroview: Solid actioner revisits the long-censored account of a Russian super-submarine which had a disastrous reactor meltdown mid-Atlantic, in 1961.

Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson compete for command while an inexperienced crew, faulty electronics and politburo pressure combine to generate a Cold War crisis. Well-made, with good faux Russian accents, though the dramatics remain fairly basic.
