When the USS Tampa Bay submarine that is navigating in Russian waters loses contact with the American base, Captain Joe Glass (Gerard Butler) is assigned to command the USS Arkansas submarine to investigate. They discover the USS Tampa Bay and a Russian submarine sunk with survivors inside. However they are attacked by another Russian submarine hidden under an iceberg but they explode the enemy. Then they rescue the survivors, including the Russian Captain Andropov (Michael Nyqvist). Meanwhile a commando led by Lieutenant Bill Beaman (Toby Stephens) is sent to observe a Russian base and they find that a coup d'état is in progress with the defense minister Dmitriy Durov (Mikhail Gorevoy) overthrowing the Russian President Nikolai Zakarin (Alexander Dyachenko). Now Beaman and Glass are assigned to try to rescue Zakarin to avoid a nuclear war, but the only chance to the USS Arkansas reach the Russian base waters is with the help of Captain Andropov. Will he collaborate with Glass?
"Hunter Killer" is an engaging and full of action film with a good story. The plot has moments of "Fail-Safe", with the risk of a nuclear war and the chest game to the American military to avoid the war. This film is also the farewell of Michael Nyqvist in his last work. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Fúria em Alto Mar" ("Rage in High-Sea")
