Tense and exciting, non-stop. Well made in every way.

Critic Reviews

A great movie just got greater, thanks to this thorough restoration. [Director's Cut; 27 June 1997, p.D3]Full Review

Wolfgang Petersen's direction is an exercise in pure craftsmanship. [Director's Cut]Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

At once a devastating condemnation of war and an exciting action film...The additional running time only adds to Petersen's masterfully bleak, claustrophobic atmosphere. Das Boot is by no means a pleasant experience, but it's an intelligent and emotionally gripping one that you won't forget. [Director's Cut]Full Review

The most convincing war movie ever made.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

You emerge from this experience rather like a returning U-boat crewman -- drained, blinking in the light, but oddly triumphant. [Director's cut]Full Review
