...of the best, however, is CRIMSON TIDE, the underwater rouser from producers Don Simpson & Jerry Bruckheimer, and director Tony Scott. All of them had brought us the immensely popular TOP GUN, though CRIM SON TIDE makes the former look like a wuss by comparison. Both of them have macho characters in a military setting, though CRIMSON TIDE doesn't get bogged down in heavy-handed romance and egotistic nonsense. The last thing that CRIMSON TIDE needs ...

You can run, but you can't hide...

Advantages: Great thriller
Disadvantages: None really, perhaps a bit long

A Congressman is murdered when he refuses to cooperate with a politician, Thomas Reynolds. Unfortunately, the whole incident is accidentally filmed by a journalist who, when he realises what he has, makes a copy of the film. He is murdered because of it, but not before he has passed a disc on to his friend, successful lawyer Robert Clayton Dean. At first, Dean doesn't realise what his friend has done and is bemused by all the attention that he is ...
...to get himself out of trouble. When one of them dies, however, Dean soon decides that he is not going down without a fight. Will he ever be able to return to his happily married family life? There are a number of excellent performances in this film, but the best is undoubtedly from the lead actor, Will Smith, who plays Robert Dean.
