Thanks for the heads-up about this. C.S. Forester was a genius, of course, and anything with Tom Hanks' involvement has a decent chance of delivering a quality result.

The genre of dramatic films about WW II at sea is very uneven. It's painful to watch the 1953 film based on Nicholas Monsarrat's 1951 novel The Cruel Sea - one of the the best sea stories of all time, IMO. Contemporary digital techniques combined with better live-action filming should yield better products.
