Reviews:
“Frankly, the techno-geopolitical aspects of Raul’s screenplay are a bit smarter than most genre films, but it is clear nobody associated with the film had any real-life experience with nuclear submarines. Still, Bailey manages to build quite a bit of suspense whether they can successfully launch in time. Ironically, the mermaid, who expresses centuries-old hostility to the male gender, acts as an unwitting ally to Putin…” J.B. Spins
