Watch Phantom For Free

That was an excellent one.

Sorry, this movie sucks

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

...but enjoyable.A reasonably well put together script makes for a strong watch that is made even stronger by a great cast. Harris and Fichtner put in excellent performances and Duchovny is strong as well.The story itself is engaging and ultimately would have worked well without the whole "true events" thing...in fact definitely works better without it. Not especially accurate historically and honestly could have done without a couple of the blatant plot devices they threw in.Cinematography was decent, as were the limited special effects.Directing was sound.Overall a gem on Netflix and a good way to spend a couple hours.

Found this title on Netflix and to my surprise it was a good choice. It's a very entertaining movie with a great cast. It's an interesting story that manages to create a lot of tension. Ed Harris is great as the captain. Overall, a very good choice that should keep your attention throughout.

I was very impressed by this Film. I felt like it grabbed me very early, kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat, and didn't let go until after the credits rolled through. I really liked Ed Harris' performance as the captain. He made me side with him while still giving the character the feel of a shady and dishonorable past. I only had one problem with this film and it is a minor one. The lack of a soviet accent by the characters, all the actors speak in perfect English. The only problem with this is that it makes it harder to identify the characters as soviets. This does not take away for the fact that this is still a very good film, it is just a minor detail I noticed. The end of the movie really brought it home for me, it was an superbly well executed ending to an all around good film. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good suspense film, people who enjoy war movies and anyone who just wants to watch a good entertaining film.

Demi is about to retire, but the powers that be, through Markov, inform him that he has one more mission. The date is late spring, 1968. Demi will captain the B67 instead of his usual ship. His crew have had only three weeks shore leave instead of the expected three months. Several of them are on leave far away; he will have several unknown faces. The B67 will be decommissioned after this last cruise; Demi gets the call since the B67 was also his first assignment.Bruni and Pavlov come on at the last minute. Alex (first officer) notes that the old tub can barely accommodate the 86 men required to sail her. Bruni says it's good to see him again; Demi seems to only barely remember this. Pavlov and the captain go though the ceremony of the captain receiving the 'real' orders from the KGB.From the first dive, there are indications that he captain is having some problems: a phantom sound on the forward outside hull; the sight and sound of an angry dog. Where did these come from? The KGB representatives inform the captain that he is about to step into part of the ship where he is not allowed. Bruni suggests that the captain bothers to read his orders. Alex has a chat with the captain. Some of the newcomers are Oznas (radical KGB commandos); some of the new crew are dead; many of the new crew have no history, just name and rank.The KGB officers countermand practically everything the captain proposes. They force a collision with a civilian tanker. This will ensure that everyone in the area will know the submarine's location. Cleaver. Their orders were to observe the massing of American naval forces.Very unfortunately, the captain suffered a brain injury a few years back with triggered grand mal epileptic seizures about once or twice a year. It would seem that some of the newcomers on board know of this.When an American attack sub passes by, the old crew manage to evade. However, Bruni overrides this, has the B67 surface and turn on their diesel engines. The KGB officers turn on the 'Phantom' which effectively cloaks their position.When the captain arranges to get confirmation of orders from Fleet HQ, Bruni stages a mutiny. After some discussion with the old crew, Demi and company figure that Bruni and the Oznas are aiming to use the Phantom to start a war.Will the mutineers succeed? Will the captain and his allies neutralize them in order to save the world from a nuclear war?------Scores--------Cinematography: 9/10 Reasonably good, but some of the images suffer from low light.Sound: 10/10 No problems.Acting: 10/10 Fine jobs by William Fichtner, Ed Harris, Jonathan Schaech, Jason Beghe. The rest were at worst competent.Screenplay: 9/10 A bit slow going at first, but picks up to a fine conclusion.
