some thing i hear about this film before it be release be that it be patriotic . well i fail to see the patriotism . all i see be a submarine crew that die at the bottom of the sea . it also do not help recruit for the submarine fleet . the whole movie make it seem like a ww2 mine can bring down the whole russian navy . in fact those old magnetic mine would be ineffective today because of specialized hull construction . i do not understand what purpose do the film serve . be it suppose to be in memory of the kursk . one of the reason give for the loss of that submarine be a mine . something russian do not need right now be disaster film . you will never find a similar film in the u . most u submarine movie like crimson tide and u 571 involve triumph over an enemy and hollywood would never even think about make a movie about a submarine disaster involve their own submarine . 1st channel should have make a russian answer to crimson tide and the usual evil russian movie from hollywood and not this movie . the music and special effect be good and just the movie be bad .
