Probably my favorite movie. Excellent cast, screenplay and film editing. ( )

Can't believe this film is nearly 30 years old. It's still a great film. I have seen it many times before but it still pulls you into the mystery and the tension as everyone hunts the sub. ( )

Dal romanzo (1984) di Tom Clancy. Al comando di un sommergibile nucleare sovietico nel suo viaggio inaugurale, il capitano Raimus (Connery) cessa di obbedire agli ordini della base: vuole disertare o scatenare una guerra privata contro gli USA? Thriller marinaresco qua e là confuso, ma sostenuto da un ritmo e una suspense impeccabili, da una splendida fotografia e da un Connery di buona annata. Oscar per il montaggio degli effetti sonori.

Having seen the movie, I figured this book would be merely a trip down the same story. Somehow, I ended up turning page to page excitedly even though I knew exactly how it would end. Clancy does a marvelous job making this story both exciting and engrossing through the sheer amount of detail. ( )

An excellent adventure story which although pushing the laws of probabbilty, is not totally unbelievable. Exciting and once you've reached the halfway point of the novel, good luck trying to put it down! ( )
