Thriller Action Drama War

After the Cold War, a breakaway Russian republic with nuclear warheads becomes a possible worldwide threat. U.S. submarine Capt. Frank Ramsey signs on a relatively green but highly recommended Lt. Cmdr. Ron Hunter to the USS Alabama, which may be the only ship able to stop a possible Armageddon. When Ramsey insists that the Alabama must act aggressively, Hunter, fearing they will start rather than stop a disaster, leads a potential mutiny to stop him.

starring Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, Matt Craven, George Dzundza

how much it moved you

Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.

Read from 44 comments (22 from Reddit, 19 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 7 of them described how it moves.

Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 7 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Hover the curveDrag across the curve to see what people said at any point.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
marks: single moments — a jump, a blow, chills, a laugh
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

what people actually wrote

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“That speech the Captain gives to the crew for heading out was just pure goosebumps.”

“It's a great popcorn movie elevated by the two leads. The plot gets a little thin but again, elevated by the two leads and good rest of cast too Great soundtrack”

“Just watched this last week actually for the first time in probably 15 years. It was so much better than I remembered. Agreed the performances are top-notch, especially from the two leads. And the soundtrack is incredible. I think I might say this is my favorite sub movie now, after Red October of course.”
