Review of Gray Lady Down (1978) by John K — 10 Jan 2018
It takes a special kind of effort to make such an inherently dramatic story feel like a day in the office. What specifically? Too much lighting, unconvincing acting, and way too many missed opportunities - its only plot is what it says on the box, no side plots, no twists.
Even the couple intense scenes it finally gets in the end have less tension than a dinner conversation in Das Boot. I think its only saving grace is its age, predating the latter. It's watchable, but in the end, I felt nothing at all, like after a long documentary on something boring (and it's very far from a documentary).
