"In Enemy Hands"

robj250 · 10-30-07, 08:47 AM

I purchased this movie from ebay and it arrived today. I couldn't wait to watch it. I will not give you the storyline as it would spoil it. However, I will tell you that it was a story written by John Denvers and what ships were involved in the movie:

The U-boats involved were U-429, U-821 and U-1221; merchants; the USS Swordfish and two US Destroyers - one unnamed and the USS Logan and a US Cruiser.

If you can get it, it would be a great addition to your U-boat library.

I couldn't read the sub titles quick enough, my sight is not the best & the print is really too small, would have preferred all in english, so I really didn't get to see it properly,

may try again on pc (close up & use pause)!

Edit: I could hardly recognise Lauren Holly! (NCIS)

One thing I will add is that I purchased a copy of an old film "The Enemy Below" Robert Mitchum & Curt Jurgens, very good even compared to todays quality IMO!!

Yes, I purchased that movie a long time ago as well, but wish I could get the movie soundtracks for it, but cannot find them. My regular source of soundtracks is "Go-Music.ru" doesn't have it.

Oh, I had no problem reading the sub-titles, I have a large screen.

Edit: I also watch NCIS every week. I watch all crime movies on TV in the evening.

looks like an interesting flick.

on a side note:

The cover of the movie shows a modern nuclear sub... but the film takes place in WW2... is that an IMDB thing or actually the cover of the movie?

That may be what they show in the advertisement, but on the actual DVD it shows a destroyer being hit by a torpedo.

Why they did that who knows, there are actually 2 other covers for this movie, the one I have is blue-ish with VIIC & swastika so wouldn't be sold in Europe!

My 2 cents:

Probably THE WORST WWII sub movie there is out there (Yes, worse than U-571!). The acting is cheap, William H.Macy sounded like a suck-up, comradeship and respect were waaayyy down-played. I think it was actually shot parallel to U-571, as the U-boat XO was also played by Thomas Kretschmann (german captain of U-571), ther ealso seems to be "borrowed" and extra CGI from U-571 as well. IMHO

I could have said a few discouraging remarks about the movie as well, but chose not to. :hmm:
