Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Leofwine_draca I'm a great fan of films that take place in submarines, as the claustrophobic backdrop can usually be relied upon to bring out the best and worst of the characters trapped within the confines of these metal beasts. There were two big Hollywood submarine flicks in the 1990s: THE HUNT FOR RED October, which I found ponderous and more than a little dull, and this one. The good news is that CRIMSON TIDE is superior in every respect.In fact, this might well be one of Tony Scott's best movies: it's a cracking thriller, laden with suspense, that doesn't have to rely on action to be exciting. Instead this is a virtual two-hander featuring two actors at the top of their game: Denzel Washington as the young, moralistic lieutenant commander, and Gene Hackman as the curmudgeonly elder, a captain who's about to lead his crew to the brink of nuclear annihilation.Obviously the scenes between the two stars are electrifying, and kudos to the scriptwriters for making both characters anything but black and white. This is unpredictable, intelligent film-making that frequently had me biting my nails; the tension and pacing are pretty much perfect, and in many places this is edge-of-the-seat stuff, a taut thriller that grabs you and refuses to let go until the last few minutes. Great stuff indeed.

RMS1949 Excellent acting by Gene and Denzel, but... Mild spoilers ahead...Starts out well as you feel the tension of their mission ahead. But about 30 minutes in, it totally goes into the realm of lunacy. How any captain of a nuclear sub suddenly goes into the insane act of wanting to launch warheads without even knowing if there's a war , is stretching any sense of realism to the film. And add on top of that, not one but two acts of mutiny is the span of 20 minutes, that is totally ridiculous. It became just a total farce. If they just stayed on the psychological battle between Gene and Denzel's characters and not the over the top nonsense, it would of been so much better.

ryan mcdaniel First off, id like to say that if you know nothing about the military (or you hate it) you will like this movie. If you know anything about submariners, its an absolute joke. NO WAY ANY OF THIS WOULD EVER GO ON IN A NUCLEAR SUB! I was never in the military myself but I have many friends who were and I can tell you that if you bring up this movie around them they will go on for hours about how silly and contrived all the scenes in the movie are. Denzel was in his usual semi-racist (but not too racist) role. Not to mention Gene Hackman playing his usual role of the "conservative" American who is nothing more than the worst human being imaginable. Arrogant, cocky, and of course, stubborn as a mule. Has anyone else noticed that he almost always plays the same character, just different situations? Bottom line is this movie is nothing more than Hollywood liberal propaganda, using the "manly-man" Gene Hackman as their fall guy for the stereotypical evil conservative who just needs to be re-educated (and usually is) in how to be a good little socialist. If you want to see a good submarine movie, see "The hunt for Red October". Otherwise, avoid this tired piece of liberal propaganda.

Petri Pelkonen This movie shows us a few men in a submarine.They have a mission there, since there is a risk of a nuclear war started by a crazy Russian man.Two men are fighting their own personal war down there.Crimson Tide (1995) is directed by Tony Scott.Just a little time ago we heard some tragic news that this great Hollywood director has killed himself at the age of 68.One can ask whether his best work had already been done, or would it have been yet to come.Denzel Washington, who worked with Tony in five films (this being the first one), is terrific as Lt. Commander Ron Hunter.What a thrill it is to watch Gene Hackman as Captain Frank Ramsey and the battle between his and Denzel's character.Matt Craven is great as Lt. Roy Zimmer.George Dzundza is brilliant as Chief of the Boat.Viggo Mortensen is superb as Lt. Peter Ince.James Gandolfini does great work as Lt. Bobby Dougherty.Rocky Carroll plays Lt. Darik Westergard.Danny Nucci is Petty Officer Danny Rivetti.Rick Schroder plays Lt. Paul Hellerman.Steve Zahn is William Barnes.Scott Grimes is seen as Petty Officer Hilaire.Ryan Phillippe is seen as Seaman Grattam.Jason Robards is in an uncredited role playing Rear Admiral Anderson.This is a great submarine movie.You can practically feel the tension they're feeling down there.Tony Scott, you did a great job!
