It is odd that he’s not portrayed,” says Grove. “He received a high degree of criticism for not having a more visible hands-on role. He was obviously operating behind the scenes, but after the events he admitted maybe he should have been in Moscow or with the Northern Fleet. If you think about it, we’ve definitely seen more of him since.” One of the foreigners trying to help is real life Commodore David Russell (Colin Firth), commander of HMS Vanguard, a Trident nuclear vessel. However, the Russian government, despite the offers coming from the international community refused help and wasted valuable time. They would have rather sacrificed these sailors rather than swallow their pride and request help. One of the key Russian dignataries from the upper echelons is played by the ever stable Max Von Sydow. Alexandre Desplat composed the movie score.

Kursk: The Last Mission — FILM REVIEW Kursk: The Last Mission — FILM REVIEW

The surviving crew members rally at the aft-most compartment, now rapidly taking on water. The crew desperately await rescue, while on dry land the sailors’ wives begin to hear rumours regarding the submarine. Royal Navy Commodore David Russell detects the seismic events and deduces that Kursk has had an accident. Admiral Grudzinsky, commander of the Northern Fleet, initially believes there are no survivors, but immediately tapping is heard through the hull of the submarine and the Russians deploy a rescue submersible. The old and poorly maintained craft cannot form a seal on the Kursk 's hull and is forced to return to the surface and wait for a 12-hour battery recharge. On 8 May 2017, Peter Simonischek, Max von Sydow and Michael Nyqvist were announced in the cast. [17] However, Nyqvist died on 27 June. [18] Judged simply as a drama set at sea, this is well handled but is somewhat undermined by the fact that most of the characters are Russians who, in an atmospheric work such as this, lose much of their credibility by speaking in English. Schoenaerts and Seydoux doubtless do this for themselves but many of the supporting cast are presumably dubbed, and this only ceases to be a relevant factor when we have scenes featuring Royal Navy officers including Commodore David Russell played by Colin Firth. This is something which will disturb some audiences more than others, yet I can’t help but regard it as a limitation. Nevertheless, there is compensation in the generally high level of professionalism on display with Alexandre Desplat providing a suitable music score and the veteran Anthony Dod Mantle in charge of photography and embracing the ‘Scope format for the main action but adopting a more intimate ratio for the home scenes seen at the start and at the close.

First, there’s a 16-hour wait for authorities to even find the sub and then when located, there are deep structural issues with the potential mode of rescue, with shoddy, failing equipment making a difficult mission turn desperately impossible. a b c d e "Lea Seydoux Boards EuropaCorp Submarine Drama 'Kursk' – Berlin".

It’s a haunting, hopeless moment in a film that not only stings with sadness but bristles with rage. Like in 2016’s Deepwater Horizon, which told of a similarly waterlogged disaster, there’s frighteningly well-choreographed human tragedy but also an unblinking urgency in holding the feet of those accountable to the fire. In that film it was the callous corporate greed of BP. This time, it’s the inhumane pridefulness of the Russian military.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." That was the official Russian line afterwards,” says Grove, “after all the ‘we got rammed by an American submarine’ stuff. The official report was put together by Vladimir Ustinov and he admits that was the most likely cause.” a b "Kursk Submarine Disaster Movie in the Works at Luc Besson's EuropaCorp".

The whole thing was breaking down by the mid-to-late Nineties. The film could even have played even more on the critical downsizing of the Russian Navy, because psychologically that was important for everyone involved.”Great online store for board games.

Kursk: The Last Mission is a tension filled emotional rollercoaster that I hope doesn\’t get overshadowed by more \’mainstream\’ and bigger budget movies. I have to admit that before viewing, I knew nothing at all about the Kursk submarine disaster, and so can not comment on the historical accuracy of the events portrayed on screen. However, the very fact that it is based on true events adds an extra chilling layer to an already tension filled and heartbreaking experience.
