We Dive at Dawn

CriticsCritics: 55
AudienceAudience: 6.8

The crew of the HMS Sea Tiger, led by Lt. Freddie Taylor, is called from leave for a daring mission to sink the Nazi battleship Brandenburg. Amidst battles and tense underwater navigation, they face a fuel shortage, forcing them to make tough decisions.

My take

A gripping wartime thriller that puts you in the cramped, claustrophobic cabin of a submarine crew tasked with an impossible mission. Tense, strategically charged, and built on the kind of nail-biting pressure that keeps you locked in until the final moment.
