Any good?

Book or movie?

The movie. I got it for a dollar at Hastings yesterday. (Buy one get one for a dollar)

If you already have a copy, why ask? You can now watch it and decide for yourself.

Ah you got me there Steve.

I'm watching it as I type this. What is your opinion on it?

I didn't like it, but I seem to be in the minority on that. Part of my problem is that back in the early 1960s I read a novel with a similar plot, but aboard a British submarine. I don't remember it going the same way, but the basic idea was there. Unfortunately I can't remember the title and though I've tried to look it up every way I can think of I've had no luck so far.

I thought it was a pretty good movie and at the price you paid...a real bargain.

I bought Prometheus on the same day. That was 10$ and Crimson Tide was cheaper so they knocked it down to a dollar. I always go to Hastings for movies, music, and books.
