Can only be seen as a thriller, not a war movie genre

The filming is top-notch, a typical American democratic brainwashing film. The plot of the movie has been reversed several times. Although the subtle plot is arranged, it is still difficult to conceal the rough plot, which is full of loopholes. After receiving the battle order, the pragmatic captain conducted the highest-level exercises without interruption in order to allow the crew to enter the actual combat state. Even if there is an unexpected situation that threatens the safety of the submarine, he still uses actual combat to check the combat effectiveness, which can be called a real soldier. The deputy captain is a theoretical school, more like a politician, and the performances of the two leading actors are nothing to say. Now let’s talk about the details. In just one hour, the plot of the betrayal happened three times. The first time happened when the deputy captain gave wrong advice and caused the communication system to be damaged. The deputy captain dismissed the captain’s post. Unbelievable, you must know that the soldiers take obedience as their natural duty, and even if they are responsible for the wrong order, they must wait until the end of the mission before they can be held accountable. What's more, in the actual combat situation at that time, the deputy captain easily relieved the captain's authority, even if he was right at the time, it could be regarded as a mutiny (after the communication failure, they were all making assumptions at that time, one party thought that there was no The previous command is executed before the new command arrives, and the other party thinks it is necessary to confirm whether there is a new command first). The second mutiny occurred after the crash of the boat was eliminated, and the captain decisively used force to regain control and continue the launch mission (the first time the captain withdraws from the command position and surrenders the command, it is equivalent to the default of the deputy captain to become the captain , he should obey the command, but his use of force to take back the command is equivalent to mutiny). The third mutiny was, of course, the co-captain robbing the captain's launch key in the same way. It is counterintuitive to have such a series of plot reversals within an hour. After a new deputy captain questioned the captain for the first time, all senior officials dismissed the captain, and no one objected (or Either the captain usually abuses his subordinates or the captain has a very bad character). But just after the submarine escaped the crisis, another officer took the initiative to ask the captain to regain control and obtained a considerable agreement (they put the blame on the deputy captain at that time, as a soldier twice questioned his own captain too. Too far-fetched and inconsistent with military literacy, it is as unprincipled as bandits forming gangs to make hilltops). Another thing to say is that their luck was surprisingly good. They were missed by four torpedoes twice. The first time they hit the bait at a distance of 2,000 feet. The second time they were only 600 feet apart. One salvo kills the opponent. Does the director want to imply that the American weapons have good performance or that the U.S. military has superb skills! Although a torpedo thrown by the enemy submarine before he died was hit, the director just arranged for individual cabins to be flooded and blocked in order to show that the U.S. military equipment was solid. Does not stop after losing momentum The submerged submarine was in a critical state, and luck broke out again, and the power was restored. Finally, two minutes before the launch, the signal soldier actually resumed the communication, luck is very timely. Although such a situation may arise, it would seem too hypocritical to have a series of such arrangements. In other cases, when the captain detained the deputy captain, he clearly ordered two crew members to act at the same time, but there was only one guard guarding them (two guards when the captain was detained), which is impossible. . After the communication was finally restored, it was the vice-captain who announced the order after checking the secret order (but he was dismissed by the captain and re-appointed a new vice-captain, shouldn't the order be given by the new vice-captain? Announce!). The film runs through "war cannot destroy war", which is more like a philosophical film, not an excellent film with military themes. I can only give two stars
