The Silver Bullet ~ Phantom

Synopsis: The haunted Captain of a Soviet submarine holds the fate of the world in his hands. Forced to leave his family behind, he is charged with leading a covert mission cloaked in mystery.

Release Date:  March 1, 2013

Thoughts: Coming in like a cross between The Hunt for Red October, Crimson Tide, and K19: The Widomaker, Phantom is a bit of a puzzle to me.  First off, for a film about Russians there is a curious lack of any accents.  Second…what is Ed Harris doing in this film…especially starring alongside the overly smug David Duchovny.  While the rest of the cast is peppered with admirable character actors, I kept waiting for this trailer to show me something I hadn’t already seen in better films.  A film destined for a small release, Phantom is going to be a tough sell for audiences that will have more interesting looking fare to see.
