K-19: The Widowmaker

CriticsCritics: 59
AudienceAudience: 6.5

On its maiden voyage during the Cold War, a Soviet nuclear submarine suffers a dangerous reactor malfunction. Trapped far from safety, the captain, officers, and crew must work under extreme pressure to control the crisis and prevent a catastrophe.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy tense, claustrophobic military dramas such as The Finest Hours, but Not for you if slow stretches, uneven character writing, or loosely historical storytelling quickly become frustrating.
