Crimson Tide (1995) - Full Reaction
Added 2023-04-20 16:37:18 +0000 UTCROLL TIDE!!! We LOVED this movie, I think suspense like this are some of my favorites!! Guys! you are going to facepalm a bunch in this reaction when I think Viggo Mortensen is Ed Harris for most of the reaction, where I forgot Carly had seen Gene Hackman in the firm, and so on! It really was one of my favorites as of late!

Very good reaction. Can feel the tension between the Captain and Hunter the entire movie. I blame the Captain. Glad had a good ending. One of the most endearing [/s] comments by the Captain from early in the movie: "Dumb as fenceposts but very intuitive. In that way, they're not too different from high school girls: they may not have a brain in their head but they do know all the boys want to f*ck them." A good quote by Hunter: "In my humble opinion, in the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself."

2024-09-01 10:00:14 +0000 UTCThis is a very suspenseful movie, partly due to the score by Hans Zimmer who played keyboard on the song "Video killed the radio star."

2024-08-13 01:25:10 +0000 UTCyou all really need to dive down the Denzel rabbit hole. He's considered one of the greatest actors of all time. He makes every movie even when the script if kinda weak. He still makes it good. This movie was always hard for me to really get into, cause I'm a Navy vet and there's so much "hollywood" in this film, it's kinda laughable and silly. But I'll sit and watch it w/ you all just try to remember it's just a movie that's supposed to be entertaining. This is very loosely based off something that went on during the Cuban Missile Crisis, they just wrote this to "fit" in the times
Ryan Towell
2023-05-21 19:03:02 +0000 UTCAlso given the year this was released.. Crimson Tide may have been the last film Viggo was in before going to NZ to film LOTR. EDIT: Nope. 🤣🤣 he was pretty busy during this period and was in a number of films including GI Jane.
Michael Enos
2023-04-29 09:11:11 +0000 UTCI can't believe I slept on this movie back when it was released. A great film. Cassie needs to let us know when she finally came down enough to go to sleep. Another good reaction.
Michael Enos
2023-04-29 09:09:57 +0000 UTCI am definitely late to the party on this but this is one of my favorite movies of all time by one of my favorite directors, Tony Scott. Tony Scott and Denzel have made a lot of amazing movies together this included. Tony Scott understand how to make a dynamic movie with his quick cuts, dynamic camera movements, amazing lighting, and masterful lighting. In addition, he knows how to make the vehicles in his movies characters themselves... from the jets in Top Gun to cars in Days of Thunder, to sub Crimson Tide or train in Unstoppable. After Crimson Tide my next fav Tony Scott movie *also* has Denzel in it, Unstoppable where the train in almost like a monster in a monster movie. Like this one it is non stop from beginning to the end. I loved this reaction but some of my favorite parts were from Carly. When she said, "Ohhhh we battleshipped them so good!" or when she told all of the officers following the captain to go to their rooms because they were in trouble it all killed me :D Awesome job Cassie & Carly!

2023-04-29 04:54:33 +0000 UTCYou mentioned how you'd like to explore more of Robin Williams' films....might I suggest "Awakenings" with Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro? Also, I'd like to suggest a Denzel film which starred and earned Tom Hanks his first Best Actor Oscar, Philadelphia.
Bill Poulter
2023-04-29 02:57:39 +0000 UTCYes! It will be up tomorrow, maybe even this evening!
Cassie
2023-04-28 03:22:46 +0000 UTCis ther a YouTube version of this coming ???

2023-04-27 15:43:03 +0000 UTCFun movie, although it may fall under the teenage boy script file in her book.
Andrew Hogan
2023-04-27 15:39:14 +0000 UTCExecutive Decision gets my vote. I’ll add Broken Arrow to the suggestions as well.
Andrew Hogan
2023-04-27 15:37:55 +0000 UTCInside Man is another good one.
Andrew Hogan
2023-04-27 15:35:39 +0000 UTCThe Negotiator is great, there just might be an issue with one of the actors that stars in it.
Andrew Hogan
2023-04-27 15:34:44 +0000 UTCThe Hurricane is a fantastic film that he’s in.
Andrew Hogan
2023-04-27 15:33:06 +0000 UTCWell, having you behind this film gives it a good shot. It’s very overlooked for whatever reason.
Andrew Hogan
2023-04-27 15:31:44 +0000 UTCWay late to this but glad to see some appreciation for that movie.

SmooothE
2023-04-26 16:54:06 +0000 UTCAnother submarine movie with a great cast would be K-19, starring Harrison Ford, Liam Neeson and Joss Ackland (Lethal Weapon 2).

2023-04-24 22:17:37 +0000 UTCAnother vote for enemy of the state, certainly an edge of the seat thriller..
David
2023-04-24 19:12:01 +0000 UTCGreat reaction!!! Other political and spy thrillers are, Gene Hackman in Enemy of the State with Will Smith. Spy game with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. The last Castle with again Redford and James Gandolfini. Behind enemy lines with Hackman and Owen Wilson.
Bxpolo
2023-04-23 16:45:17 +0000 UTCSo underrated! I think also younger people don't know about it, sadly :(
David H
2023-04-23 15:35:49 +0000 UTCCassie, please Please PLEASE watch the film "The Prophecy". Viggo Mortenson isn't in it until the end, but he immediately steals every scene he's in. That's hard because one of the main characters is played by the great Christopher Walken!
Sean Novack
2023-04-23 07:42:40 +0000 UTCWar games is a great movie
Bill Maurer
2023-04-23 03:02:22 +0000 UTCYou two should watch and react to 1983's "The Day After." That's all I'll say about it!
David Crabtree
2023-04-22 17:57:13 +0000 UTCWargames (1983) is a great suspense movie that you and Carly would love. Like Crimson Tide it's also about the threat of nuclear war, and it stars a young Matthew Broderick.
David H
2023-04-22 13:34:10 +0000 UTCAnother suspense movie from the same director is UNSTOPPABLE. He's also directed a few movies that you've already seen, like Man on Fire, Top Gun (the first one), and Days of Thunder. Anyway, Unstoppable is another movie where the action is non stop and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Aaron Mann
2023-04-22 05:58:48 +0000 UTCBack when I joined Patreon in 2021, I made a bunch of suggestions( which was probably bad form on my part lol ). Of those suggestions only one movie now remains unwatched...Frequency. So far I'm batting 1000 on liked movies, here's hoping Frequency gets a watch at some point. =P Not sure on the status of From the Earth to the Moon. I think I remember Cassie saying she started it, but not sure if she finished it. Still recommend that one as well at some point, if not. 07/17/2021 I'll throw out a few suggestions: A Few Good Men, Braveheart, The Last Samurai, The Patriot, The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), 12 Angry Men (1957), Casablanca, Frequency, Crimson Tide, Apollo 13, and From the Earth to the Moon ( HBO Mini-series after Apollo 13. Tom Hanks produced, similar to how he did Saving Private Ryan and then Band of Brothers) Side note..that Crimson Tide theme song gets me every time. So good!
Verteron
2023-04-22 04:10:51 +0000 UTCThis whole movie is a work of fiction. The only thing that was real is the Russian war in Chechnya. There never was a civil war where Russian Rebels captured a nuclear launch base. There never has been a publically acknowledged account of a breakdown in nuclear launch protocol aboard an American submarine. Although if I remember correctly there WAS a scare at a land base that wasn't this dramatic years ago. That's probably where the inspiration for this movie came from.
KTVindicare
2023-04-22 03:05:35 +0000 UTCSo glad you liked this, one of my favorite 90s movies. If you want more suspense, best to get back to "The Master Of Suspense" Alfred Hitchcock. North By Northwest is a must, but in the suspense(and romance) vein, Notorious (starring Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman) is an underseen classic.
sarCC
2023-04-22 02:10:02 +0000 UTCOk, first of all Cassie do you have a subwoofer in there?? You need it for a movie like this. Second, I've seen this movie almost 2 dozen times and seeing it with you two was like watching for the first time. I absolutely love watching movies I love with first timers and you guys were the best! Carly was great as usual, but Cassie your depth of emotion in this, you were fully vested. Did this film not put you right on that boat?? They set up all the chess pieces, giving you the background and a informal training on ballistic submarines and protocols, and the importance of chain of command. Third, there was a lot of "Hollywood" in this one. The chain of command is not this fragile in real life. They actually train on these scenarios to prevent this and with no acknowledgement from the sub within a reasonable timeframe they WOULD have transferred the orders. They wouldn't wait for the "birds to not be aloft". Obviously modern subs are much more sophisticated nowadays with multiple redundant systems to assure two way communication and feedback. And NO the dog would NEVER be allowed, I don't care if it was a descendant of Chester Nimitz. Lol
Brent Fugett
2023-04-22 01:34:43 +0000 UTCA great suspense movie I have mentioned before "No Way Out" Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman, a twist ending up there with "The Usual Suspects" even has COB (Chief Of the Boat) from this movie.
Keith Jones
2023-04-22 01:16:31 +0000 UTCYa this movie is a great one. My pick from the War movies poll.
KTVindicare
2023-04-22 01:02:37 +0000 UTCI can get behind all of these suggestions.
Walter
2023-04-21 21:55:30 +0000 UTCFunny idea, maybe do a poll of Ed Harris movies vs Viggo Mortensen movies. I'm sure The Abyss would win in the long run though
Shawn Kildal
2023-04-21 19:56:44 +0000 UTCThe History Buffs channel(YT) gave '13 Days' a favorable review on historical accuracy and content..
Celeste McAllister
2023-04-21 17:18:21 +0000 UTCI second watching The Day of the Jackal (1973).
Ian Cano
2023-04-21 16:40:00 +0000 UTCI hope you will both react to Das Boot (1981) at some point, it would be a tough watch but I'm sure you'd both appreciate it for what it is.

2023-04-21 16:04:39 +0000 UTCNORTH BY NORTHWEST is my top request in the Popcorn Requests App!
Mike LL
2023-04-21 13:18:51 +0000 UTCOh this is the perfect place to suggest THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING (1966), a wacky Cold War comedy about a Russian submarine going aground on a small island off the US coast. The Americans don't know what to do when the Russians hit town! Hijinks ensue! Starring Carl Reiner, Alan Arkin, Eve Marie Saint, Brian Keith and the great Jonathan Winters!
Mike LL
2023-04-21 13:16:29 +0000 UTCOh! You said Carly! I was to direct to the Red October react! My bad! But not a bad idea by you.
Mike LL
2023-04-21 13:06:48 +0000 UTCFor anyone curious as to whether this was based on a true story. I think that the film was inspired by two incidents from the cold war. The 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident, where Russian officer Stanislav Petrov disobeyed launch orders against the USA and was credited with basically saving the world from armageddon. The incident on which events in the film are closely based happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis where, after days without outside contact, Soviet submarine XO, Vasily Arkhipov, had to talk down his captain from launching a nuke (at the US) and convince him to surface and confirm their orders, effectively preventing a first-strike scenario from escalating. It's a bit scary how often these types of situations actually happened in real life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Arkhipov

Jason Chirevas
2023-04-21 09:51:33 +0000 UTCIt occurs to me Carly should see THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, and we should see her see it.

Shawn Kildal
2023-04-21 09:17:30 +0000 UTCThese Star Trek references has to be tempting??? Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan is one of the great suspense movies as well.
Shawn Kildal
2023-04-21 09:10:51 +0000 UTCMy top suspense movies yet to seen are Escape From Alcatraz, Fatal Attraction, Cape Fear, Witness, Notorious, North By Northwest, War Games, Executive Decision and Breakdown.
Shawn Kildal
2023-04-21 09:08:51 +0000 UTCThe *Ultimate* Thriller is "The Day of The Jackal", you *must* see it, reaction or no, it's utterly utterly brilliant.

2023-04-21 08:36:10 +0000 UTCI agree with Sum of All Fears, and Gravity
Brandon N.
2023-04-21 08:21:06 +0000 UTCWow! Great reaction ladies! I think that had to be one of my favorite reaction with you two! You guys were so into it! You made me tense, even though I’ve seen the movie many times! 😂 Lots of great suggestions for suspenseful movies up above. If I may offer another, I would like to suggest “The Next Three Days (2010)”. Starring Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks. I think you two would enjoy it. Once again, great job ladies! 👍

2023-04-21 06:02:04 +0000 UTCHighly recommend Sum of All Fears.
Eric Wallace
2023-04-21 05:04:35 +0000 UTCThey mention the Cuban Missile Crisis a few times which reminded me of the movie "13 Days". It's not as intense as this one (Tony Scott was a great action director, RIP) but what's crazy and great about that movie is that even though I knew basically how the actual event ended, it still managed to recreate the tension. Plus, Cassie and Carly would get to see Kevin Costner again, this time doing a somewhat questionable Massachusetts accent lol. Also, it's a true story, adapted of course, because... Hollywood. But it's crazy to think how close we were to World War 3, I remember hearing after the Soviet Union disbanded and a lot of their documents were declassified, that it was even closer than we knew, the generals were a bunch of Gene Hackmans (Hackmen?), and how it all went down was really fascinating, and kind of scary. Imagine being Kennedy, youngest president ever at the time, having to deal with this situation, and being challenged from every direction, in part simply because he was considered young as a man in his forties.
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
2023-04-21 04:32:45 +0000 UTCFor similar deep suspense and great acting, THE NEGOTIATOR (1998), Samuel Jackson and Kevin Spacey in their prime (have to get past the Kevin Spacey thing).
Richard Bourne
2023-04-21 04:25:10 +0000 UTCI love it so much best Hans Zimmer score it was the tv spot for jp last world actually to be honest
MatthewBrown74m
2023-04-21 04:17:18 +0000 UTCIf you're looking for thrillers, a really underrated one is Red Eye (2005). I don't think I've ever seen anyone react to that and it. is. INTENSE.

Alex Tan
2023-04-21 02:58:17 +0000 UTCHear, hear. Hans Zimmer's soundtrack in that movie is so intense that I like it. I also love how it was used in the trailers & TV spots for Jurassic Park (1993), Waterworld (1995), DragonHeart (1996), and Disney's Mighty Joe Young (1998).
Alex Tan
2023-04-21 02:56:34 +0000 UTCCrimson Tide is my Favorite movie of all time!! You should check out "The Peacemaker" starring George Clooney and Nicole Kidman.. it deals with the possibility of Nuclear War as well, VERY Suspensful!!

2023-04-21 02:28:07 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! While watching this I couldn't help wondering about another outstanding movie that involves possible nuclear war. Wargames, staring a very young Matthew Broderick (Ferris from Ferris Bueller's Day Off). A wonderful movie that both you and Carley would love.

David Collins
2023-04-21 01:28:12 +0000 UTCTarantino randomly added a racial subplot for some reason. The white/black horse conversation was completely out of left field.
James MacDonald
2023-04-21 01:26:26 +0000 UTCI am one of those who thinks he actually did deserve it for TRAINING DAY. He's electrifying in that movie... however, he would have deserved it for THE HURRICANE too. He's fantastic in that one as well.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-21 01:13:52 +0000 UTCBeen waiting so long for you two to watch this, glad you loved it! Another fun action/thriller, that I actually don't see anybody react to, is the The Peacemaker from 1997. George Clooney and Nicole Kidman star in it. The last part of the movie is also very tense!
Nismo
2023-04-21 01:02:07 +0000 UTCReally hope you will watch The Hurricane, or at least it ends up on a Courtroom Poll one day. My vote for best performance of Denzel’s career, and it has some Canadian ties.
Cole Jennett
2023-04-21 01:01:42 +0000 UTCHe should have won for The Hurricane a year earlier, I think Training Day was a make up call
Cole Jennett
2023-04-21 00:55:48 +0000 UTCYes, that was excellent. Denzel's character goes through a powerful arc, supported by Christopher Walken. A very young Dakota Fanning also delivers a great performance. "Revenge is a dish best served cold".
Richard Bourne
2023-04-21 00:46:09 +0000 UTCI think you would both like Greyhound (2020). It's a Tom Hanks WWII naval thriller about the Battle of the Atlantic.
Jesus F Christ
2023-04-21 00:32:01 +0000 UTCSome good suspenseful thrillers to watch are Out of Time, The Presidio, Serpico, Three Days to Kill, The Next Three Days, Along came a spider, Where Eagles Dare, just to name a few off the top of my head.
Rick Williams
2023-04-21 00:30:14 +0000 UTCAt the beginning of the movie on the bus, one of the sub officers mentions the movie "The Enemy Below." Definitely another sub movie that is a must watch. It stars Robert Mitchum and Curd Jürgens. Curd Jürgens played the lead villain, Karl Stromberg, in "The Spy Who Loved Me."
Dustin Denner
2023-04-21 00:16:09 +0000 UTCWell, that was epic. From the time the sub went under at the beginning of the movie, your anxiety just kept going up and up. Pretty sure you all stop breathing several times through this I think this is poppies reaction material. So glad you got to it. If you were wearing your heart rate monitor, I bet your watch would tell you burn 900 cal watching this movie.
Steven Ashford
2023-04-21 00:14:24 +0000 UTCGreat, Great Reaction, Ladies. You two were intense. This is a great intense movie loaded with great acting. Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman were amazing. Don't worry there are many great suspenseful movies for you two to watch. You two are fun to watch movies with. This may just be your greatest reaction, yet.
Rick Williams

2023-04-20 23:40:42 +0000 UTCI think Training Day should be next for you and Carly, Denzel won the Oscar for his role.

Jayson Phillips
2023-04-20 23:30:15 +0000 UTCAnother vote for it as well I also think that should be one for both of you if possible. I also think Rules of Engagement should also be on the next War Wednesdays as it’s a fantastic courtroom drama starting Samuel L Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones
Dean Holt
2023-04-20 23:12:28 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you reacted to this movie even though it came second in the poll. It's a classic and so well made. I knew you'd like it. P.s. If you're interested in a comedy submarine movie I recommend Down Periscope starring Kelsey Grammer.
Luke Godfrey
2023-04-20 23:10:46 +0000 UTCThe Hurricane also awesome and two of his underrated movies are Inside Man and Taking of Pelham 123.

2023-04-20 22:49:16 +0000 UTCThis was an all-time PIB reaction, and I’d say it’s the most engaged Carly has ever been on the channel. This was also a perfect example of how, though they’re sisters, Cassie and Carly often approach and perceive these movies quite differently. It’s a thoroughly engaging dynamic.

Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-20 22:05:37 +0000 UTCWhile U-571 is not based on a true story, it is a inspired by real events. Also, U-571 has Jon Bon Jovi in it. This can never be a bad thing.
David Collins
2023-04-20 21:59:54 +0000 UTCAnother great suspense movie, Executive Decision. It'll be edge of your seat the entire time. Kurt Russell heads an all star cast. It gets largely panned because one of the top billed actors roles was a lot smaller than movie goers expected, based on the previews, but it is intense from start to finish.
David Collins

Steve Mercier
2023-04-20 20:44:11 +0000 UTCCrimson Tide (1995) is my third favorite Tony Scott movie behind #1 Top Gun (1986) & #2 Days of Thunder (1990). My favorite scene was when Ramsey shouts at Hunter "I AM THE COMMANDER OF THIS SHIP! GIVE ME THE KEY!" because of Gene Hackman's performance and the Dutch angle in the shot which makes it very suspenseful. And Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is very epic, especially with the use of synthesizers, which explains why Carly was feeling nervous at the start. I would definitely suggest this movie to Addie Counts.

2023-04-20 20:34:24 +0000 UTCI've long felt that Hackman is at his best when he's playing complicated characters. He never plays a completely 100% pure good guy (he's always complex or compromised in some way) and on those rare occasions when he's just played a totally evil villain, he hasn't been as interesting.

Matthew Lange
2023-04-20 20:09:49 +0000 UTCThere's a line of dialogue Kevin Costner says late in that film (that I won't spoil here) that is really profound and continues to give me hope every time I get dark and grim about our future.

2023-04-20 20:09:31 +0000 UTCYeah, it's a decent enough film in its own right, but it is vastly inferior to the original. If she's going to watch a MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, go with the first one.

Late 90s and early 2ks had a lot of good suspense movies. One of my favorites although different cast all together, the negotiator.

Enemy At The Gates (2001) with Jude Law and Ed Harris about sharpshooters at the battle of Stalingrad. U-571(2000) Submarine movie with Matthew McConaughey. There is three highly suspenseful movies. Enemy of the State (1998) was directed by the same guy as this one and the same producers.

I do agree with the fans, you both should check out The Abyss next. Another intense Sci-Fi, adventure, underwater film with a love story. Starring Ed Harris. I'm very confident you'll enjoy it!!!
ROBERT CLARK
2023-04-20 19:42:07 +0000 UTCThat was a great reaction, and it was a pleasant surprise to have Carly for this one. It is a very well-made movie about an interesting dilemma where both sides act according on their best belief that they are doing the right thing. I knew this movie would be well received, but I didn't expect you would be on the edge this much. I was surprised you didn't recognize Viggo. He was even credited at the same moment he first showed up on screen. But in fairness he does not look like Aragorn at all here. I think he most resembles his LOTR character in HIDALGO (2004), which might have a chance at that derby poll if it makes the cut. For a good thriller - keeping the aquatic tone - I recommend THE ABYSS (1989) with the actual Ed Harris. 😉 Although I would highly recommend the extended cut. The theatrical sacrificed too much just to squeeze it into a ~2h15m runtime. Another one I would like to see your reaction for a while now would be THE GAME (1997) with Michael Douglas.
Gábor Árki
2023-04-20 19:37:36 +0000 UTCCassie & Carly, I'm so glad you liked this movie so much. I've been dying for you to do it. On the other hand I was disappointed that you called Viggo Mottensen "Ed Harris" but then I was so relieved that you recognized him by his voice. I thought that might do the trick. Thank you for being you. 🤗😁
David Freese
2023-04-20 19:36:51 +0000 UTCFabulous reaction. Cassie you may need to get a fan for the room because it seemed like you were over heating in there. And as for another non-stop suspense movie I can only think of The Abyss (1989) another movie where you will need the fan in the room! It stars Ed Harris, so when you say “Isn't that Ed Harris?” . . . you will be absolutely correct! Also a great suspense/mystery/heist film with Denzel Washington is Inside Man (2006).

James UK
2023-04-20 19:12:53 +0000 UTCYou also saw Gene Hackman in Superman - he was Lex Luther. Great job on this reaction, though. One of my very favorite movies of all time. If you want another Denzel war movie, Courage Under Fire is also amazing - it was in the poll, but I don't know if many people watched it. It is gripping as well, just in a different way. You two were so great - it was fun watching the tension (seriously all movie long) just build in the two of you. This is one of the best movies for that kind of just slow build of tension, and it never goes away until the end. Ahh. Great times. Thank you so much for doing this.
Damon Corrigan
2023-04-20 19:11:12 +0000 UTCI swear these two are soooo fun to watch react to movies.. you're either commiserating with their emotive responses or yelling at the video trying to tell them where they know these actors from lol.
Andrew Rose
2023-04-20 19:09:51 +0000 UTCI think I had a longer cut, definitely extra scenes such as Denzel talking to the guy about his weight and Denzel watching the other sub guys going in to the courtroom at the end.

2023-04-20 19:08:15 +0000 UTCCourage Under Fire. Another Denzel war film. Also a mystery drama. Costars include Meg Ryan, Matt Damon, Scott Glenn (US sub captain from Hunt For Red October), and a small role for Sean Astin (Sam from Lord of the Rings). Directed by Edward Zwick, who also did two other films you've reacted to: Glory and The Last Samurai.

2023-04-20 19:05:38 +0000 UTCMore Denzel, please! Just throw darts, spin bottles or whatever it takes. He is a genius at picking movies, never makes a bad one and makes every one he does better than it would have been without him.
David Collins
2023-04-20 19:05:32 +0000 UTCWell, Cassie did recently watch The Rock. Where Ed was dressed similarly to Viggo in this movie. So, I can kinda see her thought process. But yeah… For shame Cassie! For shame! Just teasing Cass! 😉

Robert Snyder
2023-04-20 18:56:44 +0000 UTCI knew you would love this movie. Very glad that Carly got to watch it with you. It's a hell of a film. Smart, suspenseful and stylish with a terrific cast (Washington and Hackman are in top form) and an intense score by Hans Zimmer. No, it's not based on a true story, but the threats in it are very real. If you are at all interested in watching any more movies about nuclear arms, I recommend THIRTEEN DAYS (with Kevin Costner no less) about the Cuban missile crisis, which is referenced many times in this film. It's a somewhat harrowing portrayal of how close we came to Total annihilation, but at the same time it's also sort of encouraging because it demonstrates how good people on both sides will work to avert such a catastrophe. The other one is slightly less serious, but still a lot of fun. WARGAMES with Matthew Broderick. I watched that as a kid and I believe it was my introduction to the whole concept of global thermonuclear war. An exciting techno thriller (and also essentially the first hacker movie). Finally, another suspenseful underwater adventure is THE ABYSS (which I still think is James Cameron's best movie) that stars the *real* Ed Harris! ;-)

2023-04-20 18:01:41 +0000 UTCI was sure - absolutely SURE - that you two were going to call Lt. Wepps (Viggo) “Aragorn” during the whole movie. But I didn’t think either of you would recognize Gene Hackman (Little Bill “Unforgiven”, Lex Luthor “Superman”, Coach McGinty “The Replacements”, or Avery “The Firm”) and *that is what would get us to smack our foreheads!* 🤣 I haven’t watch the reaction yet, but at least I’m prepared! lol
Ike
2023-04-20 17:56:44 +0000 UTCSpeaking of Ed Harris, he's a great actor. I think Cassie and Carly only saw films of his as an antagonist. They need to watch The Abyss. It's an underwater sci-fi "love story 😉 " Directed by James Cameron.

2023-04-20 17:56:42 +0000 UTCI think I was watching the director's cut - or you guys were - because so many scenes didn't match up
Odd Thomas
2023-04-20 17:55:22 +0000 UTCLike Just Plain Bob mentioned this film is 100% fiction but the events do closely parallels with an event that occurred during the Cuban Missile Crisis onboard Soviet submarine B-59. On 27 October 1962, senior officer Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov was on board the Soviet submarine B-59 near Cuba when the US forces began dropping non-lethal depth charges. While the action was designed to encourage the Soviet submarines to surface, the crew of B-59 had been incommunicado and so were unaware of the intention. They thought they were witnessing the beginning of a third world war. Onboard the Soviet Sub they had a ten kilotonne nuclear torpedo with the officers having permission to launch it without waiting for approval from Moscow, again from their point of view WW3 was already happening so Moscow could've been blown to bits as far as they know. Two of the vessel’s senior officers including the captain wanted to launch the missile but all three had to approve for the missile to launch with Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov denying the launch leading to the sub surfacing . I can't recall if they surrendered to the Americans or if they were allowed to return home to the USSR but they did re-surface. If they did launch World War 3 would've most likely played out with nuclear warfare from all sides leading to a Judgement Day. We wouldn't be here today reacting to you two if it wasn't for the actions of Vasili Arkhipov. Denzel Washington's character heavily reflects Vasili Arkhipov in this film. Here's a really solid 9 min video going over the events - https://youtu.be/BR1q9MRwHdQ?t=9
Isaac
2023-04-20 17:38:11 +0000 UTCI’m glad you like this movie. It’s a lot of fun with a good cast. Very entertaining. Hackman and Washington were great in it. Tony Scott made quality action movies. Same director as Top Gun. Though I didn’t think he was Ed Harris Viggo Mortensen looks nothing like Aragon in any other movie I’ve ever seen him in so it’s pretty easy to not know if you don’t look at the cast.
James1035
2023-04-20 17:15:37 +0000 UTCHow much was true? None of it. It was complete fiction. There might be some loosely analogous situations that occurred during the Cold War, particularly during periods of heightened tension such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, but I don’t believe this was related to any of them. It was a 100% Hollywood creation. If the sisters are interested in something that’s fairly historically accurate that deals with the Cold War, I’d recommend Thirteen Days. It’s about the aforementioned Cuban Missile Crisis and stars Kevin Costner. Great flick.
