Fresh: Crimson Tide is pop-action naval gazing at its finest.
Fresh: This is a boy's movie all the way.
Fresh: If ever a picture crackled, Crimson Tide fits the description.
Fresh: Crimson Tide has everything you could want from an action thriller and a few other things you usually can't hope to expect.
Customer Reviews
Unbelievable film, intensity, and acting.
This pairing of Hackman and Denzel is second to none, and quite frankly, I wish these 'duos' were more prevalent in the industry today. It's that powerful. Whether or not you buy it through iTunes, this is a must-see filim that, in my view, is totally underrated and publicized. 2 thumbs piercing Heaven!
Crimson Tide
Great film! Exciting movie with a plausible theme. So real it's scary....
Awesome Movie
One of the best, edge of your seat thrillers I have ever seen...
