Das Boot Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Wael Khairy
...enough nerve-wracking suspense to make your heart pound against your chest like depth charges rupturing a submarine's hull.
Sepia
Dwight Brown
Das Boot's actors look like they have lived through every sneak attack and painful claustrophobic moment in this film.
San Francisco Examiner
Judy Stone
Director Wolfgang Petersen has rigorously discarded war movie clichés, both American and those of the Nazi regime, to show the very human fears and real courage of Germans who battled for, and lost, supremacy of the seas.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Scott Cain
This is the finest submarine movie ever made. Although director Wolfgang Petersen emphasizes the claustrophobia of undersea life, his above-surface scenes are powerful as well.
Common Sense Media
Tom Cassidy
Effective as an anti-war movie and as thrilling as any disaster flick, Das Boot is a humanistic masterpiece.
Polygon
Russ Frushtick
Massively compelling.
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
For all its intensity and excitement and fighting and destruction is, perhaps more than any other film, an anti-war film.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
Peterson has captured the teamwork, the claustrophobia and the peril of underwater warfare. He draws compelling performances from the crewmen, many of them quite young.
Boston Globe
Bruce McCabe
Das Boot is a psychological thriller of the first order. The fact that the setting is a war is, amazingly and interestingly, only incidental to its points.
Variety
Variety Staff
Everything described in the film is authentic.
TV Guide
Gripping and authentic.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The film has no qualities beyond its formal polish.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
Few war films are more potent than Das Boot...the ultimate submarine movie. [Blu-ray]
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Agripping, impressively detailed account of one harrowing voyage by a German U-boat during World War II.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Das Boot is yet another moving testament to the wastefulness of battle.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
The film reaches right out to grab us by the neck and squeeze hard.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Wolfgang Petersen's direction is an exercise in pure craftsmanship.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Set in a German U- boat during World War II, this claustrophobic suspense drama hasn't a weak bolt anywhere.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
You're drawn in powerfully as the crew members experience a psychologically maddening cycle of lull and storm.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Suspenseful when it needs to be and intelligent in its depiction of the horrors of war and the sweaty claustrophobia of submarine life. On occasion, it's even -- pardon the pun -- deep.
