Well, saw the movie last night...I can't say I'm impressed and the score of 6/10 on imdb is still a little on the high side imho. more a 5 or 4.

This is clearly a B movie with poor directing and acting. Why Macy would play a role in this movie is beyond me, he must have been in need of cash. The American captain is the worst captain I've seen for years in a movie.
The story seems to be a mix between The Hunt for Red Octobre, Outbreak and U-571 but not very convincing.

Still, enjoyed watching it, if only to be reminded what a great movie Das Boot is.
Thanks for the responses.
