Duchovny as ice-cold russian killer?! Who'#39;s supposed to believe that?? Total fail cast

DFlix2006

Very interesting (true?) Story. Poorly executed. Duchovny is unsuited as antaginist. Its a shame, it tries to be a "Hunt for Red October " but doesnt have the correct flow. The movie is extremely slow in developing and it makes for miserable viewing. That said it wasnt awful, just could have been better.

Inspired by the mysterious sinking of the K-129, Phantom is an intense Cold War thriller. A power struggle aboard a Soviet submarine threatens to erupt in war when a radical element of the KGB attempts to use a first strike device against the US. Starring Ed Harris, David Duchovny, and William Fichtner, the cast is fairly strong. However, the directing is rather poor and doesn’t move the plot along very well or add any suspense to the film. Still, the set designs and special effects are pretty good and create a tense atmosphere aboard the sub. Phantom has an interesting story, but it’s rather lackluster for a thriller.

Takes too long before you actually know whats going on. A little boring unless you are totally into cold war history.
