Chris Hemsworth in a submarine? That's something new! But honestly, I wish Indian actors got these big international projects too. Our talent is world-class but still underutilized in Hollywood.

The plot sounds similar to that German submarine movie from last year. Hollywood needs more original ideas rather than recycling old concepts with new stars. Still, will probably watch for the action scenes!

Lily James is such a chameleon! From Cinderella to Pamela Anderson and now a coast guard officer - she disappears into every role. Hope this gets a proper theatrical release in India.

Interesting to see Amazon backing this. Their original films have been hit or miss. Hope they don't ruin it with too much streaming-first mentality. Some films need the big screen experience!

Between this and the Cliffhanger reboot, Lily James is really doing action films now! Good to see female actors getting more diverse roles beyond just romantic leads. Progress! 💪
