 Men of Steel, 2008-08-25
This is a great submarine story of WWII straight from the files of the British War Office. James Caan is ever so chisel faced and stoic as he must redeem himself in front of the men of his new command. His mission is top secret making the whole affair all the more difficult for success. The underwater photography and score are real highlights. Their ultimate target is a Nazi battleship and the movie becomes more suspenseful as it unfolds. I recommend this minor film.

Not Bad AS they Go, 2008-08-25
This British WWII submarine film is really not bad. A rather unemotional James Caan looks pretty good in uniform. The photography, story and score all work well to make this an interesting movie.
Submarine Project X, 2008-06-06
The Ordering of the product was easy, and fast. The shipping of the product was timely. The movie arrived in good condition. The actual feature on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 7. It was a story I had seen back in the 90's. I liked it so I purchased it. If you like British WWII movies, this is a perfect buy.

 "B" Submarine Moview, 2007-07-26
This one does not rank as a classic. It just sort of ranks. But the DVD quality is excellent.

It is About Time to Open the Vaults, 2007-01-27
Now here is a great submarine adventure, reminiscent of THE HUNLEY, an epic film about an experimental underwater submarince experiment that was successful, secret, timely, and wrenching--showing a Canadian Naval Officer (Caan) having to make a wartime decision that will result in the death of a few of his comrades for the greater good--a success against the German Kriegsmarine.
The acting is good and the plot elements are more genuine (life of comrades versus death of enemies) that one would have expected at the time the film was made--1969. And the resolution of the situation is decidedly pro-war, not anti-war, as the progression of anti-Vietnam films reflects (including M*A*S*H* and Catch-22).
In other words--take this film in its intended context--World War II. And, enjoy a sleeper amongst the great submarine films of the era. By all means, see this one out--and over again.
Much recommended!
