Review – The Command

The Kursk disaster would have been bad enough if it simply involved a nuclear sub sinking in the Barents Sea. But as this docu-drama observes, loss of life was caused as much by Russian Navy bureaucracy as by the explosion that first damaged the sub. Thus the story here is less about the dangerous lives of sub crews and more about an incompetent government bungling rescue operations and lying to the men’s families. Mildly amusing
