Hunter Killer – I can’t say it’s ‘Die Hard on a submarine’, since (a) it’s not, and (b) that was claimed by the so-so Under Siege in 1992. You don’t watch Gerard Butler action films for their Oscar-winning scripts, but for the bangs and crashes. And both Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen were […]

Hunter Killer – or ‘Submarine Has Fallen‘ – sees Gerard Butler as Captain Joe Glass, an untested American submarine captain whwo teams up with US Navy Seals to rescue the Russian president, who has been kidnapped by a rogue general.
