Whale Song

It was very interesting to see roy schieder's captain being hauled over the coals by the senior navy personnel, clearly they did not believe that he was the man for the job of stopping a rogue submarine, he proves them right in a way by resigning, only they don't know what he has actually done. you may find yourself asking whether schieder was right as the submarine has killed many people including civilians; is schieder doing what he thinks is right or is he just running away? this aspect of the plot is tense and involving as you can't wait to see how far schieder will really go. i felt that the comedy plot involving the smuggling of fake meat was just cheap filler compared to the real moral dilemma, although it did make me smile a few times.
