Nice and cozy! This is one good film, that actually puts you in a German submarine during World War II. Imagine being bombarded by depth charges and there is nothing you can do but wait and keep quiet. Anybody who watches this movie, is thinking: 'never, never, never ever in my life would I put myself in that situation...'
The innocence of the reporter, the fear and humanity of the men on board is so well depicted, that is easy (too easy, perhaps) to empathize with those nazi's under the sea. Any movie that can put feelings across as well as 'Das Boot', whether it's joy, love, hate, or in this case, fear, is definitely worth watching. Compared to other movies about fear, such as 'Panic Room' and 'Phone Booth', this movie is many times more thrilling...
