      The submarine weapons officer states that they are carrying SS-16 missiles. SS-16 is the NATO designation for the missiles and would obviously not be used by a Russian crew.

      Oleg Lebedev: The next day the little polar bear goes to his mother again and says, "Let me see if I got this right. You're a polar bear, right?" And she says, "Yes, of course." And the little polar bear says, "And Dad's a polar bear too, right?" And she says, "Yes, of course." And the little polar bear says, "Okay. Fine, just checking."

      Oleg Lebedev: So the next day, the little polar bear goes to his mother again and says, "I just gotta be clear here. You're a polar bear, right?" And the mother says, "Yes." "And Dad's a polar bear, right?" And she says, "Yes." "That makes ME a polar bear, right?" And she says, "Yes."

    Tragedy effectively brought to the screen
    If you ever felt claustrophobic in a submarine tour this movie would be quite distressing. Seeing the cold dark wet and suffering they endured makes you wonder why anyone would voluntarily have a life on a sub. The true story of the Kursk tragedy is vividly brought to the screen by Luc Besson.

    It's so frustrating how the responsible people delayed accepting help that could have saved them.

    Matthias looks like a famous Russian so good casting. Lea Seydoux even looks fat for the role of pregnant wife.

    Worth a watch.
