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.

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. Go to Full Review
Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture 10/29/2018
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. Go to Full Review

Military stories in particular have long gotten away with total homogeneity, but the U.S. military is much more diverse than Hunter Killer suggests. Go to Full Review

Felicia M @Felicia_01 Dec 28 Must see movie for the action movie lovers See more Morgan G @Morgan2000 Dec 27 Great film! Action and suspense is 100%, the story is of course far fetched but it is fiction so what do people expect. Creative storyline. Great acting. Keeps you tense in your seat. See more JM H @JMH9999 Nov 9 Oldman is over the top. Generally liked it. Toby Stephens keeps saying things "could get ugly" over and over. Tighter writing would have made it better. Last scene a little ridiculous considering three sunken subs full of people another few good people, but what a nice afternoon we have. See more Tyler N Oct 20 This is a DVD I have had for years. Not even sure how I got it. It just sat there collecting dust. I knew nothing about the movie. I chose to watch it tonight and was very entertained. Really cool movie. Not one lull. Always moving! See more Paul M. @paulmendoza Oct 20 Good fun action movie. See more Adrian Z @adrianRO Oct 7 Its ok. If you are not a fan of knowing how subs work and just focus on this movie as a movie to chill, its ok. Pretty ok effects, especially the C-RAM See more Read all reviews
