Tension on board a submarine...
“Hunter Killer” is an action thriller that opens with a Russian submarine sinking an American sub because the Russian commander thinks the Americans fired first. This disaster sets in motion a whole series of events that have world-shaking ramifications.<br /><br />Joe Glass (Gerard Butler) is assigned to command the submarine USS Arkansas, a hunter killer — the term for subs that hunt down and attack other subs. Glass and crew head for the site of the submarine battle to discover what actually happened.<br /><br />In Russia, Defense Minister Dmitri Durov (Michael For) has staged a coup and captured President Zakarin (Alexander Diachenko). Durov wants to trick the Americans into starting a war with Russia.<br /><br />At the Pentagon, Admiral Donnegan (Gary Oldman) locks horns with Rear Admiral John Fisk (Common) and NSA senior analyst Jayne Norquist (Linda Cardellini) about how to handle the crisis.<br /><br />In yet another sub-plot, Lt. Bill Beaman (Toby Stephens) and his Navy SEALs team parachute into Russia to free Zakarin and let him assure the world that traitors in his government are trying to manipulate Russia and the United States into shooting at each other.<br /><br />There’s an awful lot of plot in “Hunter Killer.” It has some terrific special effects but is riddled with war movie cliches, cardboard characters, improbable scenarios, and unlikely coincidences. Yet for all its nonsensical plotting, it moves along briskly and offers plenty of action, most of it from inside and outside submarines. The exterior scenes, accomplished with CGI, are realistic and capture the stealth of these vessels as they monitor and serve as defenses against perceived aggression.<br /><br />Butler’s Glass is right out of a World War II flick playbook. He’s brash and impulsive, refuses to heed advice, takes risks, and ignores warnings from his fellow officers. That he’s always right and his decisions always pay off makes the movie that much more preposterous.<br /><br />Oldman, who has done exceptional work in other films, is dreadful as an admiral given to temper tantrums and losing his cool in a crisis. Loud, obnoxious, and often on the verge of hysteria, he is far from the kind of person you want to count on in an emergency. The role is far too broadly written and Oldman adds little nuance.<br /><br />Director Donovan Marsh jumps around from one location to another in an attempt to connect all the sub-plots, not always successfully. There are at least three different movies in “Hunter Killer” squeezed into a single film. Overly ambitious, the movie never rises above a mediocre action flick with above-average special effects.<br /><br />Bonus features on the 2-disc release include director’s commentary and the two-part featurette Surface Tension: Declassifying Hunter Killer.
