Depth Charge (RHI/Genius DVD)

Save for The Dark Knight, Eric Roberts longtime
rut continues with a terrible would-be submarine thriller called Depth Charge (2008) with Jason Gedrick,
about a takeover of a nuclear submarine and with a nuclear threat. This Crimson
Tide wanna-be thinks it can somehow one-up that hit, but does not have any
of the acting or screenplay brains to come close. Barry Bostwick also shows up, but this is
just very, very bad and Gedrick should have called this Iron Tin Can. Yawn!
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image has its motion blur but does not look as
bad as expected and RHI is putting a little more money on screen, if not in the
scripts. The Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo
has no Pro Logic surrounds and is weak.
There are no extras.
