With that said, I thought Hunt for Red October was pretty terrible, the whole plot about defecting was bad enough, but the idea of the newest ship in the fleet is given to a Captain who while highly decorated as the movie claims but his loyalty to his country isn't insured especially for a nuclear submarine? and rest of the crew would go along? Let alone the fact supposedly the XO of this ship would be a Political Officer?
It's a decent rambo style cold war action movie, but not my idea of a submarine movie.

Ramius was Lithuanian, not Russian, an his wife was killed by the soviet bureaucracy, so he had motive too.
That's why decent movie based on excellent books still suck.
