Fast-moving fun formula

This is another caught in a leaky sub movie. You just have to enjoy this type of movie to watch it. No new revelations. Harrison Ford gets to play the misunderstood heavy Capt. Alexei Vostrikov; we have to remember he is a good actor and plays on both sides of the fence. Harrison Ford is also the executive producer. If you have the heavy, then you have to have the father figure played by Liam Neeson as Capt. Mikhail Polenin. People like to compare this movie to other recent submarine movies, but the formula was played out long ago in “Run Silent Run Deep” (1958) with Clark Gable as Cmdr. 'Rich' Richardson and Burt Lancaster as Lt. Jim Bledsoe. They had similar command and loyalty conflicts.
