Closed door with breathtaking and oppressive suspense, of which one of the main qualities and originality is to have given such an important role to the sound. The slightest squeal of sheet metal caused by the pressure of the water, and now we tremble. In addition, the Germans are the heroes here, shown as human beings, victims of events beyond their control, it deserves to be noted. Very good film.

Epic in every sense. The sounds and darkness just make it so tense and claustrophobic. And that ending. Jee

A handful of men trapped in an underwater metal tube under constant threat of destruction. This movie captures almost perfectly the mood and horror of this scenario. An absolute classic

At 210 minutes in length, this Director's Cut of the film is Petersen's best film one of the best war films ever made. The film may run the gamut of submarine thriller conventions that you would expect to see, but Petersen takes a more interesting approach in handling them. The film spends a More

Months before Pearl Harbor made World War II a true global conflict, we join the crew of a cramped German U-boat, patrolling the murky green waters of the English Channel in search of British blockade-runners. Although the war is still relatively young, the ship’s captain sees his country’s miss More

"Das Boot" stands out as a masterful epic of war cinema, not just for its thrilling combat sequences but for its in-depth look at the human element of warfare. Wolfgang Petersen's direction brings to life the claustrophobic world of a German U-boat, filled with men who are far more than the enemy ca More

In many ways, this reminded me of "Aces High" (1976). An example of young, barely pubescent, men sent to a war that would test their mettle to the extreme as they lived each day, perilously, as it came. This time, these young men are encased in a few hundred tons of creaking metal submarine and are More
