This movie is quite accurate on how does the french navy manages it's submarines which are the main vector of France's nuclear deterrence. While the global politic plot is highly unlikely, the dilmena of the characters facing the use of nukes is very interresting. This movie worth being watched at least to feel a little what might be beaing in charge of such dreadfull weapons. It comes as a complement to Dr Strangelove (in a very different style)....

A gorgeous movie that riveted me to my seat from beginning to end. Good acting, good direction, good story, excellent music and use of sounds (a necessity due to its subject) with believable characters, a realistic movie that respect its topics, characters and public, not trying to dumb you. Another good point : it is not an historical film, even one happening in close history, nor is it happening in a far-stretch futur, this story could happen right now. An instant classic.

A really nice change-up from your typical submarine films, but I found it a little too technical with the constant fancy jargon, and overdramatic with the stretched out scenes. The almost 2 hour length and dragged out pacing made the film feel much longer. There were also some editing issues. The writing/screenplay definitely needed some tweaking. The directing was decent, and the score on point. The visuals were great, especially for a B-grade French film, and the acting fairly decent. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you like these type of films. Would I see it again? No. Sacre bleu, it's a 7/10 from me.

If you're into military thrillers, movies like Failsafe, you might like this. It has plenty of twists, good pacing, and a unlikely hero, a flawed sonar man who loves his country and is very good at his job. The movie is not free of tactical and strategic logic holes, but the pacing, progression of events, f/x, live shots at sea, military action dialogue, and story keep you locked in. For English only viewers, the English dub is excellent.
