‘Crimson Tide’ review

“Crimson Tide” – Executive officer Denzel Washington and captain Gene Hackman play off each other brilliantly in this ideological power struggle set aboard a nuclear submarine with the world’s fate hanging in the balance. Director Tony Scott brings an intense, no-time-to-think believability to proceedings that might seem implausible on paper.

– John Hansen, “Best of the action genre,” NDSU Spectrum, May 2000
