My wife got me the DVD of that movie cuz she knows I like that part of history. I watched it and almost vomited. I couldn't really say anything to her. I am confident that if I didn't know so much about the history of naval warfare in WWII that I would have really enjoyed the movie. So much is wrong with it, even fictionalized, I just couldn't ever watch it again unless inebreated. The most mind boggling thing was the German Destroyer out in the Atlantic. If Bon Jovi would have broke into song with the other guys doing backup, it would at least have made for a more entertaining (if not horried train-wrecking) of a movie.
