K 19: The
Widowmaker
PG 13
Harrison Ford is a little too old to
play Russian sub commander in this 2002 flick, and his technology doesn't match
that of cold war Russian subs, (especially his microphone), but for realism
they would have had to not rip off a dozen over cold war movies and actually
ask Russians what it was like. Dah. He plays an infamous commander who has a
nuclear accident that nearly kills off most of his crew. It's curious that they
nicknamed the actual ship "widowmaker" after the accident, not before
it was launched, as is incorrectly stated in the movie. Review by Adam Browne
