It all eventually comes together when they realize that there’s been a coup on the Russian president, but why anyone makes any of these decisions prior to this is just baffling to say the least. Back in the U.S., NSA worker Jayne Norquist (Linda Cardellini, one of three women in this film), decides Fisk needs to send a ground team (Toby Stephens, Michael Trucco, Ryan McPartlin and Zane Holt) to Russia, which ends up feeling like a Peter Berg short film accidentally cut into a submarine movie. Their mission gets even more puzzling, as a Russian sub hidden in the crevasse of an iceberg starts firing on them.

Dasboot the hunter movie#
This moment lets the audience know a few things: A) That Joe Glass has empathy and B) that this movie has no subtlety. But then he looks to the right of the buck and sees its CGI family close by and decides to lower his weapon. We meet him in the middle of nowhere, in snowy terrain about to shoot a CGI buck across a glassy lake with a bow and arrow. He’s seen stuff, guys, and not in a Naval Academy classroom. He “never went to Annapolis.” Why that makes him especially qualified for this mission will basically remain a mystery, other than the fact that he’ll readily disobey orders and go rogue at any opportunity. Joe Glass (Butler), who we’re told is not like the other guys. An American submarine is torpedoed by a Russian sub in Russian waters, but back in the U.S., all they know is it’s disappeared, and they’ve got to go find it. In Gerard Butler parlance, “Hunter Killer” is the “London Has Fallen” of submarine movies, genetically engineered in a lab to entrance the nation’s dads in basic cable reruns for the next 25 years. “Das Boot” this is not, nor is it “The Hunt for Red October,” but you probably already knew that from name at the top of the marquee.
