K-19: The Widowmaker description Based on an incident that was officially suppressed for 28 years, K-19: The Widowmaker is a fine addition to the "sub-genre" of submarine thrillers.

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Despite fantastic director and actors..... |
| .....this movie just falls flat. Harrison Ford is probably one of the greatest underappreciated actors of our time and is one of my favorites. I've always liked Liam Neeson too. Director Kathryn Bigelow has also been a favorite of mine since the mid-80's.
Despite all of these "big time" players, this movie is so BOOOORRRRRRIIIIINNNNGGGG! The plot slowly (and I DO mean SLOWLY) unfolds and the end result is just plain unsatisfying. Another thing that bothered the hell out of me was Ford's on again/off again "Russian" accent. Not only did it come and go, but when it was there, it was a TERRIBLE imitation of a Slavic accent. I really expected so much more. I rented this title once and will never have the desire to see it again, even if it's on network TV. If you like Harrison Ford, I would recommend: Any of the original STAR WARS trilogy films Any of the INDIANA JONES films BLADE RUNNER WITNESS REGARDING HENRY AIR FORCE ONE If you like Kathryn Bigelow, I would recommend: NEAR DARK POINT BREAK |
