Review of The Sea Wolves (1980) by Tom H — 06 Mar 2008
An ensemble flick, consisting of ex-James Bonds (What, not Peck?), it asks the question: what if we used our elderly to fight our battles in suicide missions in neutral territory. It's a true story, and a fresh bit of Indian history.
You know that the Guns of Navaronne are an unspoken touchpoint, and you enjoy the (almost like Cocoon) refreshing "I might be old but I regret I only have one life but to live for my country" once more around the block.
This feels like a Dirk Pitt movie as much as a strange but true event. But, hey, it's nice knowing you're never quite over the hill.
