Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I like Michael Dudikoff. When he gets something he can work with, he's not too shabby. Sadly, that's a rarity for him. He's made countless STV films that are beneath him. This movie falls into that category in a big way. There have been plenty of action heroes who have taken a stab at doing Die Hard on a submarine. Dolph Lundgren, Steven Seagal, among some others. None of them have worked out well. I love Die Hard. It's one of the greatest action movies of all time, but not only did it spawn 5 sequels, but many imitators. It's been done to death in different ways. I believe Michael Dudikoff did a similar movie to this one called Counter Measures (Which I have yet to see, in case you are wondering) The main problem with this movie, like most movies that take place on a Submarine, is that it's boring. There are fight scenes, but they aren't that good. The villain is laughable. Reiner Schone does a poor man's Hans Gruber. He's as dull dishwater, and brings nothing interesting to the part. At the very least, he could have hammed it up, and had some fun, but he plays it completely seriously. Believe it or not, it actually didn't start off that bad. I was enjoying Dudikoff's relationship with his son in this movie. They cut it too short for my liking. We also get a lame twist in the finale that comes out of left field. Michael Dudikoff tries hard, but he's not enough to carry this movie. There isn't much action, it's extremely talky, it's poorly acted for the most part, and the plot is highly unoriginal. Dudikoff is better than this crud2/10

This was a really bad movie. It uses every cliché ever known to man, the 'romance' was even less unbelievable than most bad movies, and it was completely militarily inaccurate. Case in point: Catherine Bell's character Lt. Cmdr Lisa Starks was referred to as "Lieutenant" by all other characters. And she answered the phone with "Lieutenant Stark". Uh hello. A Lt. Cmdr is always addressed as "Commander." You'd think that even without any sort of original story line that they would have at least tried to get the technical details right Don't bother seeing this one. U-571 is much better. And Stealth is much more entertaining even if its kinda cliché too.

The fighting scene is very cool! What's more, wife(or, fiancee) and kid are always best choices of adding humanity to the story. Yes, I always like this part. Though made before the WTC crashed, this is still a good reflection on highjacking and "sub-jacking". I wonder if these movies provided guides for terrorists.

'Crash Dive' goes the way of a great many other B action movies, only this one is worse in many regards. Of course that's what appeals to fans of the genre, and if you look at it that way, it won't disappoint. The special effects, especially the climactic missile destruction have to be seen to be believed. They are so bad you end up laughing at them, ruining any intended entertainment value that the movie has to offer.The acting is classically bad, not at all aided by a horrible script. Michael Dudikoff is laughable, they producers could've (and should've) hired a bum off the street to play his character, it would've worked out much better. The rest of the cast, made up entirely out of no names, fares no better, and they appear to have so little interest in the story that they showed up for work, and left, still sleeping.There is one thing that is to be admired in this film is it's ambitions. Never before have I seen a B action movie that actually has any moments of.... sadness, so to speak. 'Crash Dive' does have some of that and, though it miserably fails, it is a refreshing break from the norm. Well maybe not refreshing, but a break all the same.One of the qualities required in any B movie is unintentional entertainment value. 'Crash Dive' certainly has some of that, but the stretches in between the fits of badness is what is not very enjoyable. There are portions that are unimaginably tedious, and that's the reason I'm not going to recommend the movie, even for fans of Dudikoff, if any exist. Stay away. Stay far, far away.2.5/10
