Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 5099080, member: 1414"] [B]The Command[/B]. 2018 movie tells the story of the Russian submarine The Kursk, which sunk in 2000 while the Russians were doing a showy naval exercise. Colin Firth and Lea Seydoux are the name actors but in supporting roles. Mathias Schoenaerts is good in what is closest to a lead role. Focus is initially on the people, the sailors, their families and then shifts to the tragedy of men trapped in a submarine in frigid waters and an incompetent, arrogant government that tries to rescue them and fails. There are some great scenes of Russian admirals being yelled at by crowds of family members and my wife remembers those, they were on TV and are accurately portrayed. What's fascinating is the shock of those old cold war Soviet era leaders realizing that the public has information they don't control and doesn't fear them now. That they will be held accountable. Pretty solid movie. [/QUOTE]
