Wolves of the DeepGenre: War/Liam NeesonCast: Liam Neeson (Captain Curtis), unknownsRelease Date: March 1stTheater Count: 3199 TheatersBudget: $90 millionMPAA Rating: PG-13 for war violence, disturbing images, and brief strong languageRunning Time: 110 minutesPlot Summary: Setting is Spring, 1942.

World War 2 has entered its next major phase: The Battle for the Atlantic. As the United States continues to gear up for war, massive convoys of men, materials, and supplies cross the Atlantic to supply Britain. To stop them, the Germans have unleashed hordes of dreaded U-Boats. While the U.S. Navy slowly gets ready to play its part, the immediate responsibility for safeguarding the convoys falls onto the British Navy.Captain Curtis (Neeson) is the commander of the British submarine HMS Barracuda and it is his job to intercept German U-boats and surface warships aiming to attack convoys. The first 15 minutes or so of the film introduce us to him, his crew, and the issues of life onboard a WW2 submarine, with heavily cramped space, mechanical problems that can cause instant doom if not corrected, etc. Curtis is a hard taskmaster but is admired and respected by his crew. He gets orders to go to off the coast of the Azores where a German wolfpack (group of U-boats) is believed to be assembling and to help take down as many as he can. This begins the first mission of the film for the Barracuda and after some scenes detailing the travel and Curtis making plans they arrive at their destination and with their sonar find that four U-boats have gathered. Curtis makes plans for a surprise attack and using cunning has the Barrcuda fire torpedoes that sink 2 of the U-boats. Barracuda then plays hide and seek with the other 2 and after some tense moments of avoiding detection Curtis launches another attack that disables one of the U-boats and forces the other to hightail it, though not before it barely misses the Barracuda in a torpedo attack. The disabled U-boat goes to the surface and Curtis has the Barracuda surface and orders his men to capture the German sub. After some initial gunfire the Germans surrender and Curtis has his men take all of the important war documents. After getting them decoded and translated, Curtis realizes that the German Navy is planning a massive strike from France to destroy a huge troop convoy carrying over 10,000 US soldiers and thousands of tons of important war supplies. Curtis radios the information to his superiors and then sets the Barracuda north to try and help stop the German attack before it starts. He also learns that the German submarine that got away is the Schlange, meaning Serpent.We then see a handful of scenes showing the camraderie of the crew, some more sub life, and Curtis' close relationship with a couple of the officers, one being a best friend, Burton, and the other a surrogate son of sorts, Francis. Enroute to the German staging area, which is in the Bay of Biscay a couple hundred miles off the coast of West France, they learn that the massive German battleship Frederick II (named after the legendary Frederick the Great) has joined the German force and it has more firepower than any other ship in the Atlantic. Curtis decides he's going to sink it. After some preparations, the Barrcuda sneaks into the Bay of Biscay towards the German fleet and nears the Frederick II. However before they can do anything a German sub detects them and fires a torpedo at them. It barely misses thanks to Curtis' quick thinking but now the Germans are on alert and their warships begin to hunt for the Barracuda, dropping depth charges. A tense scene happens as the Barracuda dives deep to avoid the charges and Curtis figures out what to do. They evade the depth charges and try to launch another attack but the same German sub detects them and fires again . Because the Barracuda was focused on the attack it is less able to evade and the torpedo explodes near it, causing damage. A number of sailors are killed or wounded and Curtis leads the salvage teams as the Barracuda limps away to safety. The result of the attack is that Curtis' best friend is badly hurt along with the others killed or wounded. The Barracuda sonar operator says he remembers the sound of the German sub from before and says it's the Schlange. Because of the damage, the Barracuda has to make as little noise as possible, meaning no radio contact with the outside world.With the Barracuda focused on avoiding detection we can get some more character scenes with the main characters, namely Curtis, Burton, and Francis. Burton is injured bad but is able to reminisce with Curtis about their seafaring days as youths. We learn that Curtis' family died in a tragic accident a decade ago. The last few years he has taken on Francis as a protege and he and the best friend are the closest things he has to family. Curtis also tries to formulate a plan to strike back but also keep the Barracuda safe. He has to decide fast because a German destroyer gets near them and launches depth charges. After some tense evasion Curtis is able to outmanuever the destroyer and launches two torpedoes that cripple and sink the ship. The crew is delighted but Curtis is now worried since the sinking will draw the Germans to their location. He orders a retreat to the northwest, hopefully to rendezvous with other Allied ships. However as the Barracuda does this the sonar operator detects signals going the same direction and at periscope depth Curtis can see they're German ships. It's the fleet moving to attack the big Allied convoy. Curtis realizes that they may have to make a second attempt at the fleet even though it could likely end up killing the Barracuda. After some desperate plans and assuring the other officers he isn't crazy, Curtis gets an idea to create a diversion to try and open a path to attack the big warships. He gets it in motion but partway through they are detected again, again by the Schlange, and though the Barracuda is able to sink the Schlange this time, cannon fire from the Frederick II heavily damages the submarine and the Barracuda has now lost a big chunk of its crew and is too damaged to do any more combat.As a result, Curtis says they'll have to quickly surface and evacuate the surviving crew in life rafts. Then, he'll take the sub back under, arm all the torpedoes in the bow, and crash the Barracuda into the Frederick II to sink it. Francis objects to the suicide mission but Curtis says it's the best way to scare off the German fleet. Burton says he will stay behind too, since he's too badly injured to survive long in the outside environment. The plan goes into action with the Barracuda surfacing, quickly unloading all surviving crew, Francis in charge, and then diving again. Curtis gets the torpedoes armed and locks a course towards the Frederick II and is then told by Burton that he can get out, that Burton will handle the rest (since it's just driving straight). Curtis is reluctant but Burton tells him that it's okay for him to live, and if he lives longer he can take more Germans down with him. Curtis agrees and goes to the rear of the sub where he arranges for himself to be fired out of the rear torpedo tube. This happens with him getting zoomed out into periscope depth water (Yeah yeah this is crap physics and whatnot but it's cool and it's Liam Neeson damnit!). As he swims to the surface Burton accelerates the Barracuda in. The Frederick II detects it and tries to fire at it, but the Barracuda moves too fast and is too close and it collides with the mega battleship and the result is an explosion that rips it in half and causes it to sink. Curtis meanwhile has got to the surface and with some effort is able to swim towards the rafts, though he tires and almost doesn't make it. Francis and the rest of the crew are overjoyed to see him. The German warships have been scared off by the loss of the Frederick II, though eventually a destroyer noses its way into the area and after seeing the life rafts decides to be merciful and pick them up. The survivors are put onto the deck with a light guard. Curtis eyes up the guard and gives Francis a nod, who passes the nod along to other men. A member of the crew speaks German so Curtis has him translate between him and the German ship captain. Curtis has the translator pass on the message that the German captain made one mistake. When the captain asks what that mistake was, Curtis replies "You let us on your boat." He then headbutts the captain and the rest of the crew suddenly mobs the surprised guards with knives and other blades hidden in their clothing. They grab the guns and immediately push inside the destroyer, shooting resisters and locking up those who surrender. The film goes ahead to Curtis and his men in control of the German ship. The translator says that a small German convoy with a light guard is leaving a French port and asks for additional escort. Curtis smiles, puts on the German captain's hat, and says "Let's go hunting." The crew cheers and the destroyer sets off for the convoy location, the camera zooming out over the high seas.

Theater Count: 3492

Plot:

[it’s not very long, but use your imagination. It’s a fun little movie]

This is the untold and different take on the traditional Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel. Hansel and Gretel were two ordinary children, but they were actually spies. [This is not revealed until the latter half of the film] Hansel and Gretel had a very bad stepmother, who hated them. She orders Hansel and Gretel to get some firewood one day. They arrived at a gingerbread house, and they know that they aren’t supposed to touch other people’s property but it was so irresistible they couldn’t help but eat some. It tasted so good that they went inside to see if there were any other goodies. But the candy was spiked with a special serum that made them forget about who they were, and brainwashed them. Then, the evil stepmother arrived, and turned out to also be the witch from the original story. The witch forces the now brainwashed Hansel and Gretel to go to a spy headquarters and steal some secret information that the evil stepmother could use to dominate the world. Hansel and Gretel now proceed to storm the headquarters, and they go through a magical waterfall when they almost reached the secret information, but the waterfall caused them to remember who they were, and that they were actually spies who worked at the agency. This explains why they walked through the front door of the agency, and no one questioned who they were. Hansel, and Gretel then pretend to steal the information, but in fact they give the evil stepmother false information, which eventually leads to the death of the evil stepmother, and everything else goes on happily ever after. The end.

When he and his two-year-old sister, Boots, fall through a grate in the laundry room of his New York City apartment building, they land in the Underland.
