Late night posting is the best! BBC is showing K19: The Widowmaker, which is a movie based in the Cold War era about a soviet submarine.
The movie stars Harrison ford as the Captain of the sub, and Liam Neeson as the first mate.
First off let me say it's quite a good movie. I generally hate naval movies, but this one is gripping. Whether it be mutiny or a pet mouse dying and then the owner going crazy.
It's weird hearing Harrison Ford in a Russian accent.. At some points of immense drama you can just hear the American accent spewing off of his lips.
The movie is quite riveting. The Russians have a reactor core failure which almost causes a meltdown... BOOM! This causes power overthrowing-ing, and a massive dose of radiation and heroism! You can almost taste the tension between the KGB and Americans; especially when the Russians need assistance from the Americans.. Silly stubborn Russians!
I've been enjoying it all (except the commercials..) and I suggest you should watch it now.
