I can't give it a 10 because it's not a perfect movie technically, but I loved it. I think this is one of the most underrated action movies ever made and is generally overlooked for some odd reason, perhaps being that for an Action genre movie by Tony Scott, it doesn't have very many "action" scenes.
Rather, this is a thrilling and intense high stakes, mono y mono, character contrast study between an old school "by the books" commander and a new, up and coming subordinate who is more articulate and an outside of the box thinker.
Several unforgettably great scenes between Hackman and Washington built from a great script make Crimson Tide a great watch and a classic. For people who haven't seen it yet, probably going in with low expectations, most will be very surprised and rewarded by how good this underrated flick is.
8.5/10.
