K19 The Widowmaker
- Rating:
- Director: Kathryn Bigelow.
- Starring: Harrison Ford, Liam Neeson, Peter Sarsgaard.
- Details: US / 138 mins (12PG).
1961. A Russian nuclear-powered submarine sets off on its maiden voyage, but events turn sour when a crewman finally realises Indiana Jones is at the helm. Competently made, and with a strong cast on board (sorry.), K19 has all the requisite elements for a classic submarine tale. Whether that's good or bad news is up to you.
