If the system is more important than the people, people suffer and die. Those men didn't have to die. Of course there is a bit of dramatization involved, it is a movie not a documentary. But I am glad they didn't turn it into an action-cgi-flick à la Hollywood. The message is clear, yet it is not hammered in.

_Kursk_ is an emotional and frustrating movie that offers a glimpse into the tragic events of the submarine disaster. The film portrays the disastrous aftermath of the accident and the struggle for survival of the crew members. The movie is well-made, and the performances of the actors add to its emotional weight. However, while watching the film, I couldn't help but wonder how much of it was actually true and how much was fabricated for cinematic effect.

As with many a tale like this - we will probably never know the whole story of how the Russian submarine "Kursk" came to sink and of the desperate attempts to rescue the stranded sailors. What Thomas Vinterberg does here, though, is direct a film with a plausible, quite compelling, narrative that el More
