K-19: The Widowmaker
Soviet submariners Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson have to contend with a potential reactor meltdown in this Kathryn Bigelow thriller

One of the few women in a male-dominated environment - that of big-buck Hollywood directing - she has made cult movies (Near Dark), action movies (Point Break), thought-provoking sci-fi (Strange Days) and even sort of art house (the duff The Weight Of Water).

Gripping
Having spent some time on a Sub, I didn't know what to expect from this movie. I was taken from the start! The movie is well thought out and keeps your interest all the way through.

You can actually feel for each of the crew as the movie progresses.
Great!
