Remake of Das Boot 2018

I'm a bit annoyed that they sold it as Das Boot. A simple PR stunt. It's a semi-decent drama, but it certainly isn't Das Boot. It's trying to appeal to way too large an audience. Lesbian love story, crime drama and action movie with semi-historical representations of technical procedures.

The crew on that boat? It's not only the worst in the Kriegsmarine, it's the worst in any navy ever!

Also, the Wrangel storyline? Why the ******* would they risk a very valuable u-boat on that mission? It makes absolutely zero sense other than act as a plot device to reach a climax in the crew conflict storyline. Hoffmann had done nothing that would warrant such behavior from his men.

To me this was a slightly entertaining drama, but boy oh boy did they drop the ball on the Das Boot part.
