A serious official mission for US submarine captain Joe Glass. When Glass hunted an American victim in the Arctic, he was told that there was a secret Russian coup on his way, a conspiracy that threatened to dismantle the world order. Glass should assemble a group of naval forces to infiltrate enemy waters, return the captured Russian president and prevent World War III.
Splitting the difference between scenes of Navy SEAL rescue attempts, underwater evasive maneuvers and your own countdown clock toward an incipient nap, Hunter Killer feels both generic and underheated.
The title fits what Butler serves up on a silver platter... Hunter Killer still isn't a great movie, but it puts the world order back in place for the better part of two hours as it re-establishes the Russian threat to the American Way.
The Tom Clancy-Lite plot is disposable and dated... and the action, when it does arrive, is quiet enough to send the most insomnia-plagued of audiences to sleep.
It's nice to spend a couple of hours in a fictional world where we don't have to worry about the American president doing something ruinously idiotic and evil. It plays like a nostalgic fairy tale.
