A Glimpse of Hell (2001)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I would have to agree with the majority that the Navy erred in the investigation and subsequent findings, be it from Old Boy mentality or just covering your six.But I must disagree on the quality of this 'movie', the acting, props, dialogue, costumes, writing and directing.First, and most obvious, all concerned had little information of the Naval Service, protocols or traditions.Second, all concerned didn't bother finding a Navy adviser to point out a few things (previously mentioned) about officers, enlisteds, chiefs and shipboard life - a step that would have paid off handsomely.Finally, although I was unable to locate proof online, I believe this tripe led to the series JAG.In my twenty-four years of service, I witnessed many things and have to agree that the Old Boy stuff does occur, but what the writers have officers and chiefs doing is - land-lubberly and un-informed.One final note: during the epilogue, the narrator states the ship was awarded a Navy Unit Citation, and that the medals were never delivered - true! A citation is a letter, entered into the man's service jacket. There is no medal to present, or to receive.

Wow! I rented this on DVD the other night because I am a HUGE fan of James Caan. This movie blew me away. I never knew all this stuff about the Navy. I feel sorry for the guys who were on that ship. The movie is really, really well done. I can't believe I didn't see it when it was on TV.

As a Navy veteran, I can truthfully say I was mightily impressed by the quality of this movie as well as its message. The producers seemed like they genuinely cared about the welfare of the ordinary sailors who man ships such as the Iowa. The fact that the Navy falsely implicated one of these sailors, who was no longer alive to defend himself, is appalling in and of itself. The fact that FX and the people who made this movie attempted to set the record straight, speaks glowingly about the state of movie-making these days.Well worth watching.

A very frank account of a true incident, told with no holds barred, with an excellant cast. I can bet that the Top Navy brass didn't like this movie very much. James Caan (as usual) gave an realistic performance as the Captain of the Iowa. I was very surpised at the quality of this movie.
