Movie Reviews of The Enemy Below
Movie Review: One of my favorite movies
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorites, it gives a very humanistic view of war as seen from the eyes of an American destroyer and a German Submarine. Both Commanders are smart and use all their skill and experience to out wit the other. Both are professional and do their jobs to the best of their ability but realize that there is a real live person on the other end. without seeing or meeting, they respect and try to understand each other. It is not so much a war movie, but a movie of the human condition. Both Jurgens and Mitchum give depth of charactor. Fans of star trek will recognize this movie as an episode was directly lifted off this storyline.Movie Review: The minor actors tell you a lot!
Summary: 5 Stars
Other reviewers have given an accurate impression of The Eneny Below. One curious fact, not menTioned by others, is the usage of the same actors to play minor characters in both the German sub and the American escort destroyer. If you pay attention, you'll see the same actors in bit parts on both ships. Helps to reinforce the point in this film that in war, when you get below the politics among the ordinary soldiers/seamen, there is no good side or bad side, just two different sides of the same human coin.Movie Review: don't want to sub-stitute my thoughts
Summary: 5 Stars
Many other reviewers also like this movie,and those reviewers in the top 500 have done a fine job in explaining the mind games that go on between the two captains and in explaining why those reviewers (and I) like this movie a lot. May I add that this movie also provides a nice look at the boredum, excitement, and I-need-to-do-my-duty that the crews experience. It's a viewing experience that immerses you in the situation, makes you believe it and live it, and you want to keep watching--nuff said. Watch it.Movie Review: Top notch war movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is much more than a simply war film. Both fighters play hard in a huge chess game sea stage.The different logistic strategies and attack in the stunning minds of both leaders in every side . Curt Jurgens and Robert Mitchum are first rate . A fine script and cult movie that deservedly won an Academy Award by best special effects in 1957!
This movie even will work out as a magnificent example of leadership and management ; the movie didn't age a bit.
A must in your collection!
Movie Review: Excellent battle of wits.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is an excellent example between two seasoned professionals - no good guy vs bad guy, revenge motives, no sex, no swearing; an example of a quality movie that Hollywood can do when it puts its mind to it. Excellent performance by an all-star, legendary cast! A war movie that anyone would enjoy that wants more from a movie than simple gore and violence; a thinking man's kind of movie. A must have if you are a fan of the "destroyer vs submarine" type of naval warfare.
