Rent Torpedo: U-235 (2019)

Ruined by English dubbing - Torpedo: U-235 review by Alphaville

An old-fashioned WW2 submarine film, ruined by being dubbed into English for morons, which destroys all sense of realism and involvement. The Belgian trailer shows what it might have been, but the original language Belgian version is not available on the DVD.

After an impressive above-ground (and wordless) action opening, there’s little here anyway but a Boys Own adventure with heroic resistance fighters and dastardly Germans. The main plot involves transporting uranium in a stolen Nazi U-boat and the claustrophobic underwater scenes are a clichéd bore you’ve seen a hundred times before. It might be better in the original language version, but probably not much.

Absolutely awful! - Torpedo: U-235 review by ML

An absolulety dire film in every way - virtually everything that happens in it verges from the ridiculous to the plain stupid, the acting is appalling, the dialog is laughable, and just to finish it off completely the only language option available is dubbed english which is terrible - imagine a cross between a bad 60's spaghetti western and Allo Allo and you're somewhere close, it really is that bad. I have a pretty high tolerance for poor films but this isn't even a 'so bad it's good' film - it's just truly awful, don't waste your time on it, you'll regret it!

Boys own adventure - Torpedo: U-235 review by RP

Sunday afternoon on tv in the old days used to have a war film showing. As kids we used to happily sit down and watch the film and let the often silly plot lines pass us by for the excitement of the adventure on view. This is just such a film. Admittedly with a bit more swearing and the odd exploding head. The fact it is based on a true story just makes it even more Boys Own Adventure fare. It may not engage the adult audience that much but it has its moments.
