Adrian Paul Delivers.......2007-05-30

I bought the movie beacuse Adrian Paul was in it. Adrian Paul fans will love it. He looked very good in the uniform and he played the role of the Captain very well. I read the other reviews for USS Poseidon-Phantom Below, and I did not know that there was supposed to be any gay element in the movie. That the commander had just lost his best friend in a tragic accident that he felt responsibility for as the captain was the only message that I got. It seems that the movie was edited from the origional,Tides of War. At any rate, the story could have focused more on the phantom submarine that hunted them but overall it was an enjoyable movie and well worth what I paid for it used.

Not a Don't Ask Don't Tell Movie.......2007-03-18

Commander of a submarine, whose lover happens to be his XO are tracking a new type of submarine in the waters off of North Korea. One touching scene between the Commander and XO/lover. Adrian Paul does a good job as usual. Realistic setting. Gay was not an issue is this, don't ask/don't tell didn't come up.

THIS IS AN EDITED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL.......2007-01-28

Be warned ! This is the edited version of the movie that originally appeared on "here-tv"(the gay television station). This version does not contain at least two scenes where Adrian Paul and Mike Doyle are kissing (they are lovers). The movie was originally titled, "Tides of War." Another scene edited out is when Catherine Dent's character tells Adrian Paul's character that she has found the letters that he sent to Mike Doyle's character.
I rate this version of the movie 1 star for editing those scenes. The original version shown on here tv was a 5 star.

Good Sub Movie........2006-06-26

I really liked this movie. There was action from start to end.
This movie is a good addition to my collection of war time movies. And for all those Adrian Paul fans, he looks so handsome in his uniform, and in everything else. If you like submarine movies, then check this out. If you like Adrian Paul,
then just buy the movie. Over and out.

Too short.......2006-03-05

I like submarine movies.

Here the acting is wooden. The special effects are quite good. The story needs work. Overall the story is too short. It needs work eg whose mysterious submarine was it and what was its mission. The story could have used a few extra scenes.

Some of the twists are quite unbelievable eg the way they get the caption to go on the second mission and the way the XO behaves on the mission.

There are much better submarine movies out there but this is worth seeing.

This is not your father's Crimson Tide.......2006-07-29

At first, this movie seems to clone the plot of the Hollywood thriller Crimson Tide, with a touch of the Prisoner thrown in. (All crew members lose their names are reffered to by their numbers.) A subordinate offices must stop his captain from using a submarine to start a war. But imagine Hollywood having no influence on the project and the Gene Hackman character being completely insane. What if Denzel Washington was the only officer willing to stop what is happening?

The movie is more of a tension builder that an action filled die hard copy. The film asks how far would you go to start/stop a war from happening. Neither 431 (our hero) or 202 (the insane captain) pull any punches in getting what they feel must be done, done. This creates a sometimes gruesome picture, but something very unHollywood, and more realisitic than the civil debate filled Crimson Tide.

If you are a fan of the submarine genre, a good film to own.

Definitely cool........2004-02-24

This Korean film is one of these reasons their cinema has been one to watch lately. A very gripping tale of mutiny on a secret Korean sub and the one man out who must stop the whole rest of the crew from starting a world war. No, its not "Die-hard on a submarine" as some wags would probably put it. The style is fresh and frenzied, with plenty of meat here for both art film fans and action buffs. Despite a bit of a truncated length-it easily could have been a bit longer to pull out some of the tension, it comes highly recommended from me.

Awesome movie for navy fans.......2003-09-16

I am a bit surprised to see the movie in Chinese section since it is a Korean movie. It is filled with conspiracy and lots of suspense. Not all the facts in the movie are similar with the real situation in Korean NAVY. However, it makes you aware of the history of Korea and its position in Asia.

I might say the conspiracy is too much, but overall its a good movie to see a sub do awesome things under the sea.
