(Blu-ray, Universal)
Americans take advantage of a disabled German submarine by disguising their own submarine as a German resupply vessel. While a small party is storming it, their own is destroyed, leaving them stranded with the captured German crew on the disabled sub. They are approached by a German destroyer but manage to destroy its radio before their identity is revealed. The ensuing stand off between the sub and destroyer makes up the bulk of the running time, and it is quite intense at times. Forget historical accuracy and immerse yourself in this exceptionally enteraining film. Matthew McConaughey is surprisingly good as the young officer who takes command of the sub. I almost forgot it was Jon Bon Jovi as his lieutenant!
