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.
