Review of Crimson Tide (1995) by Dogeform — 30 Jan 2021
This movie has not aged well. The Captain who is all about being by the book threatens to murder two of his crew for not listening to him and assaults his XO in front of the entire crew. Despite this, he is given an early retirement with a pension instead of being arrested for trying to launch Nuclear missiles while communications are down.
The intention of this movie was to question who is right but it never seems the Captain is doing anything except acting like a petulant child. The racial overtones of the "Spanish Horses" they talk about near the end of the movie also points to the Captain hating the XO for his race.
