Summary: 5 Stars
Great video, I used it as part of leadership training in decision making and staff development.DVD Review: Crimson Tide DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful movie. It is like a modernization of the Captain Queeg tale, with much more serious consequences potential in the eccentricity. Denzel Washington's character takes a difficult stand based on a clearer head considering the effects of what the captain proposes. There is a delineation of loyalties between the crew, forced to take sides. One old friend has to make a most difficult choice, and his hesitation itself saves the day in the end. Highly suspenseful, extremely realistic, and with an end that is almost satisfying, though colored by centuries of tradition. Fine performances by at least a dozen actors, including some who often get roles less important to the suspense. The story shows how important the efforts of all members of the crew are to safety and mission accomplishment. Heroism comes from staying on a hopeless task, from going against personal feelings, from recognizing when right is more important than power. Everyone should see this film.DVD Review: Improbable
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie is a lot of fun and Gene Hackman is his usual talented self, although he reminds me of slim pickens in Dr. Strangelove - although he is portrayed as a well meaning guy, but the plot has more holes than a leaky barge. A nuclear sub only has one radio? If this is true we are in alot of trouble, The fate of the world rests on one man - the radio man??? A captain who ignores a countermanding, or at least modified command, before destroying the world. It would be his duty to find out what was on that message, not a nuisance. If he had to place his boat in jeopardy, so be it. I hope this is not the way we decide how to destroy the world. Scary.DVD Review: double dip a' coming

Summary: 1 Stars
I served on board an ssbn as a sonar tech. everything about this movie is wrong from the basic plot to having a dog onboard.not one thing in this insulting movie is based in reality.the characters are weak-minded cowards who would never be allowed on a sub.everyone involved with this movie owe the navy an apology.there is no entertainment here and the controversy generated by thier situation is sheer lunacy.do not spend your hard earned money on this crap,they don't deserve it.
Description of Crimson Tide (Unrated Extended Edition)
A stellar cast including Academy Award(R) winner Denzel Washington (2001 Best Actor, TRAINING DAY), Gene Hackman (1971 Academy Award(R) Winner, Best Actor, THE FRENCH CONNECTION; ENEMY OF THE STATE), Viggo Mortensen (THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy), and James Gandolfini (TV's THE SOPRANOS) resurfaces in a greater-than-ever Extended Edition of this intense hit thriller. In the midst of a global crisis, the USS Alabama receives unconfirmed orders to launch its nuclear missiles -- signaling the start of World War III! The tension escalates as the sub's respected commander (Hackman) and his brilliant executive officer (Washington) clash over the validity of their orders ... battling each other for control of the sub! As this epic struggle rages under the sea, you take command of edge-of-your-seat excitement and never-before-seen footage.You can almost hear the studio pitch meeting echoing throughout Crimson Tide like the sonar on the soundtrack: "It's The Cain Mutiny on a nuclear submarine!" When radio communications problems aboard the USS Alabama prevent the sub from receiving its orders clearly during a tense confrontation with Russian warships, Navy officer Denzel Washington faces a huge ethical dilemma: countermand the orders of legendary Captain Ramsey (Gene Hackman) to fire nuclear missiles, or follow his command and risk launching an unprovoked nuclear war. It's really an actors' picture, and the fun is in the fireworks between Washington and Hackman, each of whose characters articulates solid reasoning behind his decision. There are no easy villains, and there's no easy way to tell right from wrong--that's what makes the nuclear stakes so terrifying. Director Tony Scott (who directed Quentin Tarantino's True Romance script) called in Tarantino to punch up the dialogue, which is why, for example, the sailors talk about Silver Surfer comic books. The digital video disc is in anamorphic widescreen; the sonorous underwater rumblings on the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack will provide you with a good opportunity to show off your system's bass response. --Jim Emerson
