Mission of the Shark: The Saga of the U.S.S. Indianapolis Reviews:
Have you read Left for Dead? 
2008-09-14 - I teach the non-fiction novel LEFT FOR DEAD to ninth graders, and this film is a gem! It is a re-enactment of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. The movie focuses on the ship's captain, McVay. I use this film to give my students a visual perspective for when they read the non-fiction book. They enjoy the film.
WARNING THIS IS NOT A SPEILBURG MOVIE!! 
2007-12-23 - I thought this movie had a good story line,
But ever since JAWS I wait for the person to
go under water then come back up being dragged
around by the shark.
I guess I've watched JAWS to much.LOL
The best movie/documentary I've seen since JAWS is
BLUE WATER/WHITE DEATH.
These movies aren't for the weak hearted.
I thought it could have had better attack scenes
from the sharks.
I rate this DVD a 7 from 1to10!!
Richard Thomas sucks 
2007-10-01 - This made for TV movie sucked, Richard Thomas and Stacy Keach were horrible, I've seen high school plays that were better. Sorry.
MIssion of the Shark
2007-09-10 - Good story about the not-so-talked about military return trip of the USS Indianapolis. This was a secret mission so maybe that is why. But it is also the worst military desaster of WW II.
Watch this then see the special on Discovery Channel with interviews from actual survivors.
Obviously made for T.V.
2007-08-30 -
Mission of the shark is a noble effort but falls short in depicting the real horror experienced by the doomed crew of the Indianapolis. On the plus side, it had a fine cast and decent acting. The main focus of the movie seemed to be not the disaster itself, but the ensuing courtroom drama and the legal ramifications.
the budget was obviously limited and the shark fins look like they are made out of cardboard!
Here's hoping that the major motion picture of this event- scheduled for release some time in 2009- will really capture the horror and drama of the sinking of the Indianapolis.
