      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Much like the submarine in its story, Hunter Killer cruises the murky action depths, following a perfunctory course into territory that's been charted many times before.

      David F Absolute brilliant thriller, the action scenes are superb, the intrigue never runs out of steam, good all round thriller. Definitely worth a look, I've already seen it 6 times, I never grow tired of it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Michael L Difficult to watch due to the constant camera movement that caused me motion sickness; not to mention 100 camera cuts per scene and overbearing music in every scene. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Illutian K Why a 1-star? They talk about their rescue sub being crushed if they go just a couple feet more. They, earlier, stated the depth as 762ft. ....the URC (the sole provider of rescue subs TO THE US NAVY) has a max depth of 2000ft. It took me 2 minutes to look this up on Google. ...at least they got the Barents Sea depth right; roughly 750ft deep on average but has deeper pockets/trenches. -- No, the Russian sub wasn't in one of those. Captain specifically asks for a "bottom depth" before ordering the rescue; 762ft. I should be more lenient. But come the Christ on. If some goober on the Internet can look up information a writer surely can. There's also hilariously bad representation of the military; top-secret info leaking (to advance the plot), hot-headed SECOND IN COMMANDs; he just can't wait to violate international law as well as definitely breaking a few military regulations on the treatment of enemy combatants. Oh. And that's just as far as I've watched (32min). I'm sure it'll get better (as in comically bad). Fun Fact: Just looked it up on a whim. The deepest a human has ever dived (w/o being in a metal tube) has been by Ahmed Gabr. Reached a depth of 1090ft. But a rescue sub can't handle "764ft" (remember "couple more feet and we're crushed like a beer can"+the reported 'bottom depth'). -- Again. Looked this up on Google. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Justin S I liked the movie. Good action. Is what it is. I'm a war/action movie guy. This one was an overall good watch to me. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Dave V This is an outstanding movie filled with suspense and action. It is well done with great acting and many twists. I recommend highly. Critics are always wrong. When they don't like something I make sure to watch it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Timothy D Some good moments, but Gerard Butler is just not very good, the guy playing the XO was too over the top, and some of the writing, because dialogue is hard, was not good enough. But for a Sunday night wind down while I fall asleep movie, it did pass the time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) Once all this starts coming together, Hunter Killer is absorbing, even if Marsh and his screenwriters never pretend to be half as interested in their characters as they are in the submarines. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture It's nice to spend a couple of hours in a fictional world where we don't have to worry about the American president doing something ruinously idiotic and evil. It plays like a nostalgic fairy tale. Oct 29, 2018 Full Review Robert Daniels 812filmreviews [You'll] find more enjoyment watching a plastic yellow submarine sink to the bottom of a bathtub than watching this film. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 28, 2018 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com a beefy Tom Clancy-type thriller that takes no prisoners Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Dara Khan Mediaversity Reviews Military stories in particular have long gotten away with total homogeneity, but the U.S. military is much more diverse than Hunter Killer suggests. Rated: F Jul 29, 2021 Full Review Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 [Gerard Butler's] in uniform again on screen and he does a wonderful job. Jun 16, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
