Das Boot [Sub: Eng]
Set during World War II, the film tells the fictional story of U-96 and its crew. It depicts both the excitement of battle and the tedium of the fruitless hunt, and shows the submariners as ordinary individuals with a desire to do their best for their comrades and their country.

Just as good, some say better, than the original classic.

The film reaches right out to grab us by the neck and squeeze hard.

Petersen's shooting style displays a breathtaking, if impersonal and faintly academic, virtuosity comparable to that of Lean or Coppola.

It is unlike any other war film in that it confines the audience in a confined submarine where we digest the fear and panic of the human beings on screen. In short, "Das Boot" is a religious experience.

The execution is second to none; taut, claustrophobic and overwhelming.

Gripping and authentic.

The film has no qualities beyond its formal polish.

Few war films are more potent than Das Boot...the ultimate submarine movie. [Blu-ray]

Agripping, impressively detailed account of one harrowing voyage by a German U-boat during World War II.

Das Boot is yet another moving testament to the wastefulness of battle.

Everything described in the film is authentic.

Still makes compulsive viewing.
