Overview

In the dark silence of the sea during World War II, the submarine USS Tiger Shark prowls on what should be a routine rescue mission. But for the shell-shocked crew, trapped together in the sub's narrow corridors and constricted spaces, this is about to become a journey into the sensory delusions, mental deceptions and runaway fears that lurk just below the surface of the ocean.

The film has enough spooky momentum and good actors to keep it going.

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fresh

An enjoyable, if occasionally flawed, experiment.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten

It's not original enough.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Fresh

Alive with creepy, menacing flair.

Ted Fry, Seattle Times
Rotten

Twohy's overwrought, comic-book theatrics work against him, as does the hokey script.

Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
