Crimson Tide Reviews:
Still a great movie
2009-11-23 - We saw this in the theater when it came out. It still holds up and would rather watch this than what is out there now passing now for a movie. I'm actually having a hard time ordering DVD's because the movies (exceptions of course, ie Slumdog Millionaire) have been awful these past years. If a movie does have a plot, good dialog, etc. it tanks at the box office. Don't get me wrong, I love "popcorn" movies -Pelham 123 was really fun.

Still not anamorphic
2009-11-18 - This is a great movie, but this new version, with the digital copy, is still not anamorphic. Amazing

Entertaining blockbuster with first-rate performances

CRIMSON TIDE

(USA - 1995)

Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 (Panavision)
Theatrical soundtrack: Dolby Digital

At the height of the Cold War, a battle of wills erupts between the captain of a US nuclear submarine (Gene Hackman) and his second-in-command (Denzel Washington).

Unusual blockbuster from the Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer stable, which foregoes flashy set-pieces for an intimate - though no less gripping - drama involving two experienced submarine officers who lock horns over protocol as the world teeters precariously on the brink of nuclear war. Hackman embraces the 'shoot-first-ask-questions-later' point of view, while Washington prefers adherence to the rule-book, and both men are determined to prevail. Michael Schiffer's screenplay contains echoes of THE CAINE MUTINY, especially the dramatic sequence in which Washington is forced to assume command of the sub, though Hackman's subsequent attempt to regain control is pure melodrama, done to a turn.

Performances are first-rate all the way down the line, helped by gleaming production values and terrific dialogue (pop-culture references to "Star Trek" and the Silver Surfer betray evidence of an uncredited script polish by Quentin Tarantino), and director Tony Scott keeps a steady hand on the rudder. Also starring George Dzundza, Viggo Mortensen, James Gandolfini, Danny Nucci, Rick Schroder, Steve Zahn and an unbilled Jason Robards. Look quickly for Ryan Phillippe as a young crewmember.
