Down Periscope? I was intrigued because it had a great premise, one that was actually timely - the US Navy needs to train against diesel-electric subs because of the proliferation of surplus Russian boats. They could have done it as a serious movie with funny sides - they could have even pitched it that way to the Hollywood execs: Can you see it - "Hunt for Red October" meets "The Dirty Dozen". DP actually resembles that legendary flick in many ways - take a bunch of losers, give them a task they can't possibly accomplush and lo and behold, they pull it off. Now that we've actually had DP, who knows when Hollywood might get around to a decent flick that capitalizes on that idea.
