Leave your thoughts about Das Boot.
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe film has no qualities beyond its formal polish--and its careful avoidance (or rather, displacement) of the moral and political issues involved can seem too crafty, too convenient. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannA visually spectacular film, distinguished by strong performances and brilliant Steadicam photography that snakes through the U-boat as its patrols the North Atlantic during World War II. [Director's Cut] |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsBrilliant, moving filmmaking like this deserves a place on your shelf. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliTakes all of the drama and suspense inherent in a submarine-based story and delivers it in a near-perfect package, establishing Das Boot as not just a terrific adrenaline rush, but one of the best movies ever made. [Director's Cut] |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewPetersen's shooting style displays a breathtaking, if impersonal and faintly academic, virtuosity comparable to that of Lean or Coppola. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWolfgang Petersen's direction is an exercise in pure craftsmanship. [Director's Cut] |
| Houston ChronicleJeff MillarThe film reaches right out to grab us by the neck and squeeze hard. |
| Caution SpoilersSarah CartlandWolfgang Petersen's exceptional anti-war, war film is a long haul but never boring -- as the captain, officers and crew face terror, ennui, excitement and occasional joy in the North Atlantic in 1941. (Director's Cut) |
| VarietyVariety StaffEverything described in the film is authentic. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseFew war films are more potent than Das Boot...the ultimate submarine movie. [Blu-ray] |
