K-19: Widowmaker (2002)

Among the various categories of war films, the submarine theme seems to be the most outstanding. The male hormones in the congested space are ready to explode, what else can make the heart beat faster? This old work directed by Catherine Bigelow is based on historical facts. The famous K-19 nuclear submarine of the Soviet Union is like the Titanic in the submarine world. Although it has the strongest hardware, it seems to be born with a cursed fate. This biopic tells about the nickname "Widowmaker" The tragedy that happened during the first voyage of the giant ship. The setting of the story is very much like the "Red Tide Storm" that I love so much. The two captains are fighting for power and the ethical game of dilemma. The plot is not as intense as the fictional story of "Red Tide", but it is more of a human entanglement. The two tough guys Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson faced each other tit-for-tat throughout the entire process, but in the end they cherished each other, hardly relying on any blasting effects, but the smell of gunpowder was enough to burst the audience. (8.5/10)

    8.0/10 points. Replay. I don’t remember seeing it before. I watched several blockbusters about submarines when I was young, and the plots were all confused. . . The early works of the female director of "The Hurt Locker" have turned a bunch of bad male directors, haha. . . Liam Neeson estimated that he could not save the submarine, and he has since embarked on the road of "Hurricane Rescue". . .
