oh it's definitely not "unwatchable". but i think it's ok to criticize the movie based on the very particular knowledge that we here possess


another thing that came to mind: the trailers spoiled the "kicker" at the end - that this is Hanks' first atlantic crossing as a DD skipper. the way this information is presented is supposed to surprise you when he gets relieved.


i hate it when they do that.
