Ratings and reviews

It's an entertaining enough movie, so it gets some stars for that, it seemed to have all it needs to be just that. However, it portrays an American crew. I think that most people should know that it was a British ship, and a British crew that boarded a German U-Boat and found themselves a pot of gold in the form of the naval decoding machine. Other than the fact that there is a massive historical discrepancy, it's a good movie. If you like a good war movie, I guess this movie might be good for you.

Saw this in theaters when it came out on a date. I lasted maybe 5-10 of the story before I fell asleep, right to the credits. I'll never forget or forgive this movie for this.

For being a 2000 movie it's pretty good. Story, suspense, action it has. Rich Callacott you're a douch. Your review states that your date liked Matthew McConaughey more than you.
