Love the friction between Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman in this. You see the US Navy as a management environment where men are committed to defending their nation and doing their duty and when those beliefs come into conflict. It is... Full review

It makes for a tense time in the old tin-can, and "Crimson Tide" is solidly in the claustrophobic tradition of those submarine dramas that came before it, including perhaps the most celebrated of them all, the German-made "Das Boot.
Sopranos" fans will enjoy seeing a slimmed-down James Gandolfini as one of the crew, along with Viggo Mortensen ("Eastern Promises") and TV's Rick Schroder ("Silver Spoons").

The actors assure us of credible performances; the director assures us of competent pacing; and the producer assures us of first-class special effects.
The situation becomes desperate; the Navy could compel the submarine to take preemptive action at any time.

It was a little too left wing for me to give it a higher rating, but still a good movie that can stimulate conversation on these serious issues. ... Full Review

While most submarine thrillers are content to provide conflict from without, most of Crimson Tide 's aggression comes from within.....So while Crimson Tide is no Das Boot (or even a Red October ), it's more than good enough to earn a spot on the list of Submarine Must-Sees .......Bruckheimer knows good actors.....The new footage is fairly cool, the new transfer is quite impressive.... ...

These two questions (and the sappy ending) aside, Crimson Tide is an exciting, suspenseful movie.
With few flaws and many strengths, Crimson Tide is exciting, sometimes frightening, and always engrossing.
