- The case for this as Tony Scott's Apex: a career crossroads, a hit, and the start of the Denzel relationship; but it is not called his best film.
- Favorite Tony Scott films are Last Boy Scout, True Romance and Crimson Tide in a row, with True Romance as the Apex.
- A counterargument says this is the Apex because The Fan, his next film, only got greenlit because he was Tony Scott.
- With Frasier's Jack Russell also around in 1995, the preference is this Jack Russell, in a more consequential situation. — Chris Ryan
- It could be the Apex for mutinies on subs.
- For best submarine movie it is this or Hunt for Red October; Das Boot, older submarine films and K-19 come up, with K-19 called bad.
- This one performed better and feels more modern, but Hunt for Red October's outside plot and its Ramius versus Jack Ryan material are richer; it is called neck and neck.
- Jason Robards cameos come up, with Enemy of the State mentioned and a preference voiced for this one.
- The movie is really nobody's Apex: good people passing through, not peaking.
