b o o m....B o o m.....B O o m....B O O m.....B O O O O O M. WARNING!!!!THIS MOVIE CONTAINS SERIOUS EXPLOSIONS AND MAY DAMAGE YOUR APARTMENT!!!! Ha,ha,ha. I could not believe the sound of the depth charges in this movie. AMAZING!!! There are 3 scenes with depth charges but it's the 2nd one that "Sound Freaks" approval. I insist you watch this on your HOMETHEATER! To be fair this is a good movie with a good story. There's gunplay, explosions, and good action to keep you entertained. BUT!!!! THE DEPTH CHARGE SCENES ARE OFF THE HOOK!!!! It's one of the few times i looked around to see if any thing had moved in my apartment from the explosions. My subwoofers and speakers ROCKED!!! Audio freaks will love this. I give this movie 5 stars!!!!! For amazing explosions, very good story, good cast, and BOOM!!! Ham,turkey and cheese hero with mayo, lettuce, tomatos, and a thick shake.

Excellent movie, one of the better WWII submarine stores out there today. Definitely ranks up there with the classics such as "Run Silent, Run Deep"
