topinterns Wow! I rented this on DVD the other night because I am a HUGE fan of James Caan. This movie blew me away. I never knew all this stuff about the Navy. I feel sorry for the guys who were on that ship. The movie is really, really well done. I can't believe I didn't see it when it was on TV.

Dfscribe As a Navy veteran, I can truthfully say I was mightily impressed by the quality of this movie as well as its message. The producers seemed like they genuinely cared about the welfare of the ordinary sailors who man ships such as the Iowa. The fact that the Navy falsely implicated one of these sailors, who was no longer alive to defend himself, is appalling in and of itself. The fact that FX and the people who made this movie attempted to set the record straight, speaks glowingly about the state of movie-making these days.Well worth watching.

lukasiewski A lame movie. People drinking onboard? Jeez. Too many inaccuracies to make it credible. Ribbons on backwards. No wonder the Navy didn't endorse this garbage. Will make a fine addition to any trash heap. Glad there are no future plans for a rebroadcast. This will go down in history as one of the worse B-Movies of all times. Is James Caan this hard up for work?

jdafoe2 A very frank account of a true incident, told with no holds barred, with an excellant cast. I can bet that the Top Navy brass didn't like this movie very much. James Caan (as usual) gave an realistic performance as the Captain of the Iowa. I was very surpised at the quality of this movie.
