Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA "Wolf's Call' is a navy slang for active sonar alarm. That means the submarine is detected and targeted. Active sonars sound very different to the human ear based on the transmission frequency. Low-frequency sonars are a very deep, like a moaning bass. Medium frequency sonars are like some synth doing an imitation of whale songs. High frequency sonars are strident and creepy like "howlings."
- GoofsThe missile targeting France was launched from the Pacific Ocean, near Kamchatka. According to the movie, it flies above Russia, then Eastern Europe. With Earth being round, it would have most certainly flown above the North Pole.

Featured review
Submarine movie genre is quite unique in France, I just remember having seen 40 years ago the René Clément "les Maudits" (with a terrific scene), I really don't remember another french title dealing with submarines. Even in Hollywood, it's a seldom exploited theme. And we have the opportunity to discover a kind of french Joel Silver production, but without Bruce Willis or other great star. And that's cool, all cast is fine (Francis Lavil as the special acoustic young specialist), but real special bravo to director Antonin Baudry and his team : first direction, complete solid and technical direction, tragic suspense, a never seen geo political subject in french cinema. Go on Mr Baudry, we're waiting for your next movie.
