The Boat part II a
Sky production? That does not promise anything near the first series
Private productions of that kind mostly suck. Cheap entertainment, don't let facts interfere with drama, showing the current politically correct propaganda opinion, and cheesy.
I cannot remember anyone shooting a pistol in a submarine, in the second book "Die Festung". Furthermore there was almost nothing taking place in a submarine, apart from Buchheim casually mentioning that Lehmann-Willenbrock brought his boat safe to Norway, with some civilians and refugees, mostly using the snorkel.
The book is about Buchheim leaving Brest and driving home to Germany through France, always on the run from allied invasion units.
The film of Buchheim's book trilogy part 1 certainly had some flaws, and Bucheim was so upset that he quit advising after some time. From rivets coming lose to a fail of discipline from "Johann" under pressure, such has never happened. Still one of the better films.
As usual, not much films about this special theme, so like U-571 (complete fail and concocted history) all is "welcome"
. I am not content with the lies and the 'message'.
I will watch Hunter Killer when it is being shown on the regular TV.
