Review of Phantom (2013) by Tvjerry — 06 Mar 2013

Ed Harris stars as a washed-up Russian submarine captain (is there any other kind in movies?). His final mission includes a KBG agent (David Duchovny) with diabolical plans. None of it matters because this is one of the slowest, most talky war movies ever.

Since it takes place in the small confines of the sub, tension should be built-in, but the only drama is provided by obnoxious ominous music and painfully portentous dialogue. Even worse, the action is often confusing If you enjoy Cold War sub conflict, you might find it worthy.

Otherwise, stay above the surface. NOTE: Look for Johnathon Schaech hiding behind a giant moustache.
