It wasn't until I visited Charleston a few months ago that I became interested in the Hunley and its history. I had heard of it but couldn't really imagine what a civil-war era submarine could possibly be capable of. I was in for a surprise, but it was still hard for me to visualize. That's where this movie filled in the gaps.
This movie was historically faithful to the Hunley, Charleston and the war; its theory about the cause of the Hunley's demise jives with the most currently prevalent premise. It was well-acted and fast-moving, even having its small moments of comic relief. The ending was necessarily speculative; I also appreciated the attempt to put the viewer at peace about the lives of the submariners who were lost.
Great movie well worth seeing it was released before the sub was raised unfortunately didnt do well in 1995.
