    May be the shoddiest and most incoherent piece of big-budget action moviemaking since "Armageddon."

    Pretty bad movie. Historically it's a load of crap. Watch "Das Boot". A much MUCH better German U-Boat movie.

    Politically incorrect film about American sailors finding the German Enigma Code. What a load of bollocks.
