I just couldn't buy into this at all. Contrived, silly, repetitive (how many times do we need to see depth charges exploding in the ocean).
The music is overbearing. The dialogue over-scripted. The characters contain very stereo-typed good Nazis or Germans. The Americans are the eternal good guys. It all seemed rather lame and unconvincing. Weren't destroyers supposed to be part of a convoy system. So why was this ship alone at sea? Best to watch a documentary to see the real battle of the Atlantic.
The ending is absolutely ludicrous with everyone lending a helping hand. You almost expected them to all have a group hug – Germans and Yanks. The ending lowered my rating to a meager 2/10.
