Movie Reviews of Das Boot - The Director's Cut

Movie Review: Phenomenal
Summary: 5 Stars

There is barely a line of dialogue, gesture or expression that does not ring true in this brilliant account. A benchmark production of its genre, particularly when one recalls it did not have the computer-generated imagery available to say Band of Brothers, or the budget of Titanic. Given this, it would be picky to complain that the odd shot of blazing ships looks a little unconvincing. Fantastic.

Summary of Das Boot - The Director's Cut

Autumn 1941 43 young german sailors aboard u-96 enter the war against britain. They seek adventure respect and heroism. For them this voyage is for glory. For their captain a seasoned war veteran at the young ages of 30 it is a mission against enemy destroyers in a blood-red sea that can devour a ship. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 03/27/2007 Starring: Jurgen Prochnow Klaus Wennemann Run time: 208 minutes Rating: R Director: Wolfgang Petersen

This is the restored, 209-minute director's cut of Wolfgang Petersen's harrowing and claustrophobic U-boat thriller, which was theatrically rereleased in 1997. Originally made as a five-hour miniseries, this version devotes more time to getting to know the crew before they and their stoic captain (J?rgen Prochnow) get aboard their U-boat and find themselves stranded at the bottom of the sea. Das Boot puts you inside that submerged vessel and explores the physical and emotional tensions of the situation with a vivid, terrifying realism that few movies can match. As Petersen tightens the screws and the submerged ship blows bolts, the pressure builds to such unbearable levels that you may be tempted to escape for a nice walk on solid land in the great outdoors--only you wouldn't dream of looking away from the screen. --Jim Emerson
