| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezA single-minded ode to international camaraderie and American perseverance. |
| User ReviewHelena Mthis is a suprizingly amazing movie, it paints the war in an entirley diffrent light. it shows the human side of war...loved it! |
| User ReviewTim FAlthough there isn't much to show besides the war itself that it's 1943, the authentic submarines and vessals are greatly presented. Not a much as in The hunt for the red october or K19 The Widowmaker, but the fact that the men from both sides have to interact and eventually cooperate with eachother is somewhat more intresting. The acting on the interaction between the two enemies is very good (at least the german speak german). Everything is most authentic. the tension builds up queit largely with the stggering fact of the disease, forcing the men to the limit. Good, awesome war movie! |
| User ReviewFrances HThe plot here is an admirable one--soldiers on different sides of a war putting aside their differences to work together at saving all of their lives when prisoners bring a deadly disease aboard a submarine. But the acting, the script, the direction--everything about this production is first-class and the action nail-bitingly suspenseful and dramatic. All in all, In Enemy Hands rises above the average war movie in realizing that there are good, honorable men on both sides of a war. |
| User ReviewErno KI LOVE THIS WAR DRAMA.GREAT ACTING CREW ! ! ! |
| User ReviewTed MGreat WW2 flick. I usually love WW2 flicks. Anyways, this flick is between the Americans and the Germans. When talking about Germans in WW2 flicks, Thomas Kretschmann will always be in the casts. Anyways, this flick is intense, thrilling and quite full with action pack scenes, as always. |
| User ReviewGary OGreat "sub" movie, Awsome acting from all parts and a good story, a little predictable but not that much. |
| User Reviewdavid sDecent low budget sub movie with a good cast and an interesting story. Sure, it is kind of unbelievable in places, but overall it is worth a watch, especially if you are a fan of William H. Macy. |
| User ReviewNapalm KI don't know if the DVD included subtitles but I watched it without and it gave an authentic feel - not to mention my two favourite German actors (Kretschmann, Schweiger) are in it. Good war movie. Give it a watch or two. |
| User ReviewLawrence FThis movie, is touchy in the end. Shows americans working along germans during the world war. For what? for peace. Not extraordinary, but the vision u get is extraordinary. |
