Amazon.com:
Based on an incident that was officially suppressed for 28 years, K-19: The Widowmaker is a fine addition to the "sub-genre" of submarine thrillers. The first major American film about Russian cold war heroes, it re-creates the nightmare endured in 1961 by the crew of the Soviet nuclear submarine K-19, when an exposed reactor core nearly resulted in a nuclear catastrophe. Several crewmen died, and K-19's captain (played by Harrison Ford) had to assert his command when near-mutiny favored his executive officer (Liam Neeson). This escalating tension gives the film its potent dramatic thrust, and both Ford and Neeson deliver intense performances while director Kathryn Bigelow (Near Dark, Strange Days) ably controls a sub full of seething testosterone. It's not as viscerally thrilling as the classic Das Boot or U-571, and some K-19 survivors protested the inclusion of inauthentic drinking scenes, but the movie benefits from grand-scale production values, seamless computer graphics, and a compelling real-life twist. --Jeff Shannon

Oh, No, not another Submarine movie! Well, yes. This film deals directly with the Soviet mindset (read: xenophobic), in general, and the utter lack of understanding in dealing with Atomic power, in particular.
The Soviet Union would not see the errors of their ways, until the Chernobyl disaster. On the K19, nuclear power would make this submarine the flagship of the Soviet Navy. As we see at the beginning of the film, it's Captain is deservedly frustrated with the Soviet procurement system ... Read More

I do not understand the morons that say that the movie does not have enough drama, hey folks "wake-up" "grow-up", this is a real life movie not a fantasy movie about Spiderman. The plot is great,the scenes are shot amazingly well, my prizes to the director, the actors were great too...I certainly recommend this movie to anyone, I have watched it three times on DVD, i really enjoied the drama :-)

You know it's bad when the most exciting part of the movie isn't when the battles take place, but when the action breaks and the guys get to see their wives and loved ones.
Never have I sat through a war-based movie more abysmal than this one.
I was nearly sound asleep before the end.

.....this movie just falls flat. Harrison Ford is probably one of the greatest underappreciated actors of our time and is one of my favorites. I've always liked Liam Neeson too. Director Kathryn Bigelow has also been a favorite of mine since the mid-80's.
Despite all of these "big time" players, this movie is so BOOOORRRRRRIIIIINNNNGGGG!
The plot slowly (and I DO mean SLOWLY) unfolds and the end result is just plain unsatisfying. Another thing that bothered the hell out ... Read More

'K-19: The Widowmaker' may be historically inaccurate, but show me a military movie that isn't. This film is way more true to life than the idiotic fantasy that was 'U-571', in which Americans won the second world war by capturing a cipher machine (FYI, it was a British crew who captured the machine and anyway the Brits already had one, reverse-engineered by Polish intelligence and given by them to British intelligence in one of the more stunningly generous acts of wartime cooperation).
