Review – Mission of the Shark

Imagine a made-for-TV movie about the sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and you've got this picture in your head without even watching it. Act One is the lead-up (the secret mission, getting to know the characters and so on), Act Two is mostly about the sharks (or at least that was the interesting part), and briefly at the end we get the captain's court martial. Of course like most folks I can't really watch anything about this particular episode of World War Two without thinking of Robert Shaw's buzz-killing speech in Jaws. That notwithstanding, this is an acceptable bit of TV drama. Mildly amusing
