Yeah, I was disappointed in the end given the apparently good production values. Weak script, shallow characters, average actors at best. The script seems to be quite inspired by Crimson Tide (plus the sound guy seems to be inspired by Jones from Red October).
By far the worst moment is when they decide to shoot down that helicopter with some recoilless launcher they shouldn't have in the first place. They actually miss it, but somehow the projectile still gets activated and damages the helicopter which instead of crashing down, explodes in mid-air for no good reason.
It's a shame as it seems like there were enough ingredients there for a much better movie.
