Hunter Killer (2018)

So much potential, but still a disappointment

If you have nothing else to do and need to fill some time, this is an okay respite. But, don't expect anything more than a standard military action movie with cliched dialogue, unreasonable scenarios, and mediocre acting.

This movie could have been decent, if the producers and script-writers had only spent some time researching facts about how the military and special forces work IRL. Instead, they decided to throw reality to the wind and use fantasy & make-believe to create contrived conveniences to support a predictable storyline. I don't mind when a movie asks me to suspend belief a little. But, this one asks us to leave all rational thinking at the door.

It's just interesting enough that you'll stay with it, mostly because you think it might get better. Sadly, it doesn't.
