Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Murphy's War
The dvd is in excellent condition as it should be since it is NEW. An all time favorite of mine!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a gem
Excellent. In a nutshell: merchant ship sunk at the mouth of the Orinoco river in Venezuela by German submarine during the closing days of WW 2.
Crew machine gunned as they attempt to escape. Sole survivor seeks retribution. Very realistic plot. Not so much the camouflage on the U-boat. Fantastic flying scenes (specially the 1st take off from the river by O'Toole) with a beautifully restored Grumman J2F Duck amphibian.Excellent photography. Despite being almost 40 years old, it's cinematic ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good, Albeit Overblown.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Unusual and exciting WW II story --
about a British navy ship-sinking survivor out to sink the submarine that sank his ship. Will keep you on the edge of your seat, and guessing wrongly what will happen next.

The locale is also unusual (and a surprise), and the three leads are seasoned actors, and excellent, one of them quite beautiful.
