Movie Review: Phantom

A Soviet nuclear sub sets off into the frigid waters, its commander (Ed Harris) given the honor of captaining it on its last voyage. However, he and his crew quickly learn that they are pawns in a deadly game that puts the world on the brink of a nuclear disaster. Led by a rogue KGB agent (David Duchovny), the plan is to deploy the phantom - a top secret project that allows the sub to mask its own acoustic signature and project itself as another ship - and draw America into an all out nuclear war with the Chinese.

Shot almost completely in the cramped confines of the sub, the movie is fast paced and keeps you hooked till the end, primarily because of the top notch performances of the cast.
