What critics compared Destination Tokyo to
Instead, he's keen to pay homage to the likes of "Run Silent, Run Deep" and "Destination Tokyo."
Tense submarine movies have big stars - Cary Grant in "Destination Tokyo," Burt Lancaster in "Run Silent Run Deep," Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin in McTiernan's "Hunt for Red October," Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman in "Crimson Tide."
But the biggest failing of U-571 is that we've seen most of it before, in better films like Das Boot , Run Silent Run Deep , and Destination Tokyo .
