Movie Reviews

Sarasota Herald-Tribune - 8/10 by Christopher LloydWhile recognizing that it's not any sort of great piece of acting by Robert Mitchum or a searing portrait of war, if one accepts The Enemy Below as an action-filled war movie, it's thoroughly entertaining stuff.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyThis WWII drama, centering on the suspenseful warfare between rival sumarine officers, German (Curt Jurgens) and American (Robert Mitchum, deservedly won the Special Effects Oscar.
User Review - 10/10 by Tracey SWonderful cat and mouse strategy. Brilliant stars. One to watch over and over again!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Klaus-Winfried TEven better than "The Boat". At least, that's my opinion.
User Review - 10/10 by Coskun TTotally riveting war movie. Mitchum and Jurgens are splendid as rival sub captains engaged in a life and death battle of wits.
User Review - 10/10 by Scott WIt was a great WWII movie. I would highly recommend it to everyone. : )
User Review - 10/10 by Harim Kthe two captains just need to get a room together
User Review - 10/10 by Alan WThe Enemy Below is an impressive film. It is about an American destroyer meeting a German U-boat and their captains. Robert Mitchum and Curd Jurgens give excellent performances. The screenplay is well written. Dick Powell did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this movie because of the action and adventure. The Enemy Below is a must see.
User Review - 10/10 by John SThis is an excellent World War II movie, and I enjoyed watching it. Mitchum and Jurgens are outstanding in their respective roles as the opposing captains (Mitchum on an American destroyer and Jurgens on a German U-Boat) who try to anticipate each other's moves and try to outwit each other. This movie is worth the time.
User Review - 10/10 by Art Etop notch the action in this movie and the tension it generates is simply the best in any movie ever i mean EVER the whole scene where they are constantly dropping depth charges and the german captain keeps avoiding them is classic movies like this should be treasured forever
