7/10
Totally unrealistic, but good movie. It works

The first submarine battle is beyond fantasy. 1 RPG with no guide > 3 sonar guided bombs? And the helicopter does not say anything to mother ship to attack? Frigate men must fell asleep.

"An Iranian frigate, what are they doing in Syrian waters?" Well, not intruding into foreign waters in a covert operation I must say.

And of course, Russian still are sort of the bad guys, selling old nuclear subs and missiles because of yes. Only the can be that irresponsible. Oh, not mentioning they can hear in the air that the missile isn't loaded, far better analysis than the machine that tracks it in real time.

I know is part of the drama, but history has shown men that should have follow protocols, and by disobeying them, saved the world. Common sense showed it's value, why would the Captain dismiss the voice of his men, the French noises, etc?

Wonder if D'Orsi is Atlantean to support that pressure without a progressive pressurization.

On the positive things I really like the story (not some things along the way). Also how important the sonar reading is shown (oops at the heli's and frigate). The drama at the sub is good, and is the first time, first time I see a high rank officer taking direct command to battle.

I was very hard at first, some things were unnecessary, but this movie works, is good, deserves a 7 despite all exaggerations.
