The film didn't do well at the box office, but it is actually pretty funny, Grammer is enjoyable, and the above-the-water/below-the-water action sequences are as good as any in most submarine films. --Tom Keogh

Bruce Dern and Rob Schneider played obnoxiously ambitious nut jobs to perfection. Lauren Holly was sympathetic as a dive officer thrust into a traditionally male environment.
