Great special effects. Unfortunately, they can’t carry the movie alone. Falls into the trap of most cartoon movies: flimsy plot and flat characters.

Crimson Tide

Well written suspenseful submarine drama. Not quite as good as The Hunt for Red October, but it comes close at times. My only complaint was that, although Gene Hackman’s character was humanized, Denzel Washington’s point of view was obviously the … Continue reading
