Nicely done picture dealing with a group of desperate men who recruit a former sub commander hoping he can stop a deadly threat on a remote island. Again Widmark shows us he is one of the top tough guys of the silver screen as he barks and growls his way to getting the crew he wants, and later on, the results he demands. Not content to do the job as the leading physicist insists, the rogue sailor cuts through all protests and does it his way. Although there were only a couple of big firefights, the story stayed interesting except for the standard love interest which must have been put in for the lady viewers. I felt the ending was weak though amusing as the crew opened up with all the hardware available at a very unlikely target.
