Lol this is a funny little film. It's a historical epic based on real life events where an American submarine crew capture some code busting machine and win world war 2. The film is pretty crap but then i found out that in real life this whole mission was done by limeys, in a limey submarine before the americans even joined the war.


Its almost as bad as the movie "Pearl Harbour" where an american wins the battle of britain!

Yes, I have heard that before too. The mission was done by the Royal Navy which is why the film was ****e! BORING. The Battle of Britain was not the reason why the Germans failed a full sclae assault on the British Isles. Despite it being a morale boosting victory, the real reason why the Germans did not launch a full scale invasion was because of the Royal Navy. Britain was still the military superpower of the world back then
