Phantom (I) (2013)
6/10
An OK submarine movie

This is a Hollywood movie so obviously the dialogs are in English. But I thought they would at least have Russian accent. None. It's hard to make believe these are Russian when everyone speak with perfect American accent.

Casting David Duchovny as one of the bad guys is a mistake. Not only does he not have any menacing expressions that villains should have, he has very little expressions period. Any other actor in this movie would make a better bad guy.

I don't know submarine dogfight tactic so I can't say whether they got it right or not. But it is suspicious when a critically timed attacked is initiated by the captain yelling detonate to a weapon crew who then detonate the torpedo. So the captain has to take into account the delay introduced by the weapon crew? The movie never showed what happened to the missile that was fired. Is that an oversight or running out of budget? Overall it is still a thrilling movie to watch.
