plot summary
 
Stalwart naval captain Matt Hendricks (Lundgren) faces imminent peril beneath the waves as he is escorting a deadly metavirus to safety on American shores. Inimitably, a gaggle of hacked-off Russian terrorists take over the submarine on which Hendricks is traveling and threaten to launch the virus on an unsuspecting populace. Together with a perky female scientist, the crusading captain must put a halt to the group's dastardly plan.

webmaster's opinion
 
Hmm - not too keen on this one - Dolph doesn't have much to work with and the story is pretty lousy... Worth checking out (because, hey, it's still Dolph) but definitely not one of his better flicks...
