Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
You can almost hear the studio pitch meeting echoing throughout Crimson Tide like the sonar on the soundtrack: "It's The Cain Mutiny on a nuclear submarine!" When radio communications problems aboard the USS Alabama prevent the sub from receiving its orders clearly during a tense confrontation with Russian warships, Navy officer Denzel Washington faces a huge ethical dilemma: countermand the orders of legendary Captain Ramsey (Gene Hackman) to fire nuclear missiles, or follow his command and risk launching an unprovoked nuclear war. It's really an actors' picture, and the fun is in the fireworks between Washington and Hackman, each of whose characters articulates solid reasoning behind his decision. There are no easy villains, and there's no easy way to tell right from wrong--that's what makes the nuclear stakes so terrifying. Director Tony Scott (who directed Quentin Tarantino's True Romance script) called in Tarantino to punch up the dialogue, which is why, for example, the sailors talk about Silver Surfer comic books. The digital video disc is in anamorphic widescreen; the sonorous underwater rumblings on the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack will provide you with a good opportunity to show off your system's bass response. --Jim Emerson

Clearly the acting is superb, but to see it again in blu-ray clarity is just great!

This is a wonderful movie. It is like a modernization of the Captain Queeg tale, with much more serious consequences potential in the eccentricity. Denzel Washington's character takes a difficult stand based on a clearer head considering the effects of what the captain proposes. There is a delineation of loyalties between the crew, forced to take sides. One old friend has to make a most difficult choice, and his hesitation itself saves the day in the end. Highly suspenseful, extremely realistic, ... Read More

This movie is a lot of fun and Gene Hackman is his usual talented self, although he reminds me of slim pickens in Dr. Strangelove - although he is portrayed as a well meaning guy, but the plot has more holes than a leaky barge. A nuclear sub only has one radio? If this is true we are in alot of trouble, The fate of the world rests on one man - the radio man??? A captain who ignores a countermanding, or at least modified command, before destroying the world. It would be his duty to find out what was ... Read More
