Das Boot [Sub: Eng]
Set during World War II, the film tells the fictional story of U-96 and its crew. It depicts both the excitement of battle and the tedium of the fruitless hunt, and shows the submariners as ordinary individuals with a desire to do their best for their comrades and their country.

The execution is second to none; taut, claustrophobic and overwhelming.March 19, 2009
Agripping, impressively detailed account of one harrowing voyage by a German U-boat during World War II.April 24, 2009
It is unlike any other war film in that it confines the audience in a confined submarine where we digest the fear and panic of the human beings on screen. In short, "Das Boot" is a religious experience.August 30, 2004

The film reaches right out to grab us by the neck and squeeze hard.June 24, 2006
Petersen's shooting style displays a breathtaking, if impersonal and faintly academic, virtuosity comparable to that of Lean or Coppola.December 09, 2011
