Movie Reviews of Up Periscope
Movie Review: Up Periscope
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie. I had look forward to the DVD and I wasn't disappointed.Movie Review: Good little tale...
Summary: 4 Stars
Pretty pedestrian as war-flicks go, but a nice way to spend a couple of hours. Well acted, with good video scenery. This is the usual story about sneakiness, secrecy and stealth, with a twist of a little upheaval of authority and disunity of command. The suspense comes it while Garner sneaks into enemy territory underwater and is delayed returning to the waiting submarine - a submarine commanded by a by-the-book skipper who has little tolerance for special operations and vowed to leave Garner behind if he isn't back at the sub on time. Overall, a pretty enjoyable flick.Movie Review: An Underrated Submarine Film
Summary: 4 Stars
Up Periscope is a a World War II film with James Garner. Garner's mission is to infiltrate a Japanese held island to get a secret code book. He's under a lot of pressure and the submarine commander, a tough Edmond O'Brien, is a no nonsense commander. Garner is going in - alone - and unsure whether or not O'Brien is going to wait for him past his deadline. You can see why Garner became a movie star. His dashing good lucks and onscreen presence is strong. In addition, there are a few film stalwarts among the crew such as Alan Hale Jr. and a young Warren Oates.
Movie Review: Worth watching over.
Summary: 4 Stars
Edmond O'Brien has a reputation for being so cautious that some of the crew thinks that equates to chicken. James Garner (Lt. Ken Braden) is about to test that caution with his life. Lt. Braden has a mission that is bordering on endangering the SUB. The bulk of the movie is the stress and interaction between the commander and LT and the crew that thinks the commander is chicken. You may have heard the story before but this is a very good version.Movie Review: Reminder of a different time
Summary: 4 Stars
Good Movie from my youth. I first saw this movie on a late Saturday night and enjoyed it, I still do. Up Periscope was made without the Modern day special effects and had to rely on writing, directing and acting. I will be the first to admit that I like special effects but it is nice to enjoy a movie that count on special effects and graphic violence. So if you want to watch a good suspenseful war movie from yesterday, this is a good one
