I agree, I don't need character development for a movie like this. They're Navy sailors, probably have a wife and kids at home, and just want to complete their mission and get back safe. Just put me in the situation and show me the tension, stress, and courage associated with it.

Worth the watch. It was entertaining, effectively used its runtime, and showed a side of the war that doesn't get much coverage in film.

watched it twice. Second time gave me a greater appreciation for the captain's faith and how he drew upon it throughout the ordeal.

It's a good military popcorn flick. Pretty accurate as well. Special effects were high quality, you rarely thought they were acting in front of a modified green screen.

It isn't a top 5 WWII movie but certainly has my respect as a quality addition to the genre
