In Enemy Hands (2004)

Finally I watched this flick. What a impertinence for any u-boat simmer, if you aske me. Learnt a lot of surprising things, f.ex. that the Allies sink submerged u-boats with a salvo from thier artillery, that it was sport for u-boats and subs to snipe each other away while both submerged and that smoking inside of a submerged u-boat was maybe more common then I'd thought.

Oh my, that was a tough 1 1/2 hour to go through. And I thought Ben Affleck's "Pearl Harbour" was bad.

But it's my own fault, why do I watch this stuff. Instead, I should have played Silent Hunter during those 94 minutes. Even an uneventful patrol at 1x TC during night in the middle of the ocean with graphic mistakes and 3 CDT's would have been a less waste of time.

P.S.: Is there a mod out there which is giving me the telephone in the Central of a German Type IX to call the U.S. destroyers like the guy in the movie did? Would be nice to have a friendly chat next time with the guy DC-ing me, something like "cold...cold...warmer...cold again...more starboard...".

That's why I stopped watching movies about 10 years ago.

Don't think I messed a lot.

I've now watched it for 30min and I cant take it anymore. U-571 is Das Boot compared to this cup of piss! Take 1 cup of uber patriotism, mix it with a potion of 'germans are all nazis', pour in a cup of historical inaccuracies, shake well and as a final touch pour in some Hollywood BS = In Enemy Hands.

Really, this isnt even a "popcorn" movie, has to be one of the worst movies I've seen, EVER.
