While this movie has a fairly interesting story line, and some very good music, I couldn't get past the worst imitation of Cajun accents you will ever encounter on film. Dennis Quaid is the biggest offender; rather than sounding like he's from the bayou, he comes off as effeminate and very affected, calling everyone he encounters "cher", as though we were all once married to Sonny Bono. You'd think that somebody on the location would've told them how bad it sounded, but judging from the amount of goofs people spotted in the movie, maybe they just didn't care. Check out the characters in Belizaire, if you want to hear what the real thing sounds like.

Not only the best submarine film ever made, but easily one of the most realistic pictures of a sailor's life you'll ever run across. If you've done that, rest assured that nothing in this film will insult your intelligence. This is the submarine movie to judge all others by.
