Depth Charge

About This Movie

Depth Charge is a solid mix of action and thriller vibes, with Jason Gedrick as the submarine captain whose reckless plan to hold D.C. hostage adds a tense layer to the narrative. Eric Roberts plays off him nicely, bringing a certain gravitas to the role of the doctor trying to navigate this high-stakes situation. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it ramps up nicely as the tension builds. The practical effects in some underwater scenes give it a gritty realism, which contrasts with the more theatrical elements of the hostage scenario. It’s not your typical blockbuster fare, but there’s something about its earnest approach to the material that stands out.
