That was an excellent one.

Admirable film.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Okay, in the Version I've seen, there was a gay relationship present between the XO and the CO, but it wasn't the purpose of the movie. A great movie to watch with a great storyline! Adrian provides a wonderful outlet for his character, as well as everyone else in the movie. I feel that the issues presented (being gay in the military, unintelligent military intelligence) keep the movie modern and prevalent in our society today. I for one am looking forward to seeing more movies like this one, where I can watch it from beginning to end with out wondering if I left the Iron on. Whip out your popcorn, grab a soda and WATCH THIS MOVIE! You'll be sorry you missed it. Go to Hawaii, and find yourself a sailor man.

From the plot to the props, to the horribly tasteless computer generated graphics, right down to the acting, this movie was really flawed. On a positive note, I will give credit to the writers/directors/producers of this film who attempted to tell the story of our Navy's submariners. However, next time, please take some additional time to conduct the proper research on proper wear of Navy uniforms. In this age of Google and many other search engines, this information could have been easily obtained, and the realism truly brought out in your art. Instead, the uniforms created numerous distractions from the plot. If all else, U.S. Navy Sailors, like myself who wear the cloth of the nation, when viewing a portrayal of our duties, deserve to see them portrayed correctly. Anything else, my friends, border heavily on disrespect.

One a wet evening, I decided to pop down to the DVD machine around the corner to pull out a DVD for the whole family. Phantom Below looked promising so I decided to take it.What a disastrous movie. 90 minutes of pure agony. The cast is poor, the script is bad and the visuals are pathetic. You expect to watch a movie about a submarine, in reality the shots of a submarine are limited. Instead you are presented with computer animated shots of submarines, torpedo's and the like. They must have really saved on the computer animations because they look as if they come straight out of a cheap third rate computer game.The inside of the U-boat is also completely unrealistic. The studio shots remind you of 70's movies, they are so fake.There are some pretty good U-Boat movies out there. This one certainly doesn't rank among them. Don't waste your time watching this one.

Being a published writer and one book dealing with a long submarine chase, Adrian Paul portrayed a true submarine commander and 'Dizzy Malone' was a true Chief of the Boat. I have watched the movie numerous times on DVD and love the suspense of the phantom submarine. I wish the chase would have covered more territory; but also understand the realm the phantom operated in between North Korea and China and the scenario the writers placed the boats in. The Yellow Sea really is shallow for submarine operations.If my book, HUNTED, was made into a movie, Adrian Paul would make a great CDR D.J. 'Deke' Slater. He has the talent to portray various characters and is versatile in various surroundings. He takes his acting very seriously. I hope to see him in more movies.
