I saw David Duchovny discuss this on a talk show. He said the choice to just speak English was because if everyone tried to speak English with Russian accents every accent would sound different which would be ridiculous. Russian speaking actors with subtitles was ruled out because it was feared it wouldn't sell well.

It is indeed set in 1968 and based on the K-129 incident, but because no one really knows what happened aboard that boat the movie is pure speculation.

I'll watch it, mainly cause it's a sub movie, and I also like Ed Harris.

I just finished watching this one. I wouldn't say it's bad, but it's also not that great, accuracy wise. Enjoyable tho. Scratched that itch for a new submarine movie to watch at the very least.
Inspired by true events tho, in this case, means "fictionalized and suspensefully dramatized to make MOAR MONIES" .. still fun tho.
