Review – Sub Down

Here’s a particularly dull specimen of the nuclear sub thriller. Rather than “nuclear combat toe to toe with the Russkies,” here all we have is a game of SSN “chicken” that leads to the sinking of an American sub (with three civilian scientists in a mini-sub along for the ride) to the bottom. A lot of the drama is based on false dilemmas and other such foolishness, but the plot does keep moving fairly well. I guess I’ve seen worse. Mildly amusing
