I expected a silly little movie in the style of Charlie's Angels. And essentially it is what I got. But still I couldn't get into it. I didn't connect with any of the characters. And even though there are a lot of fights, they didn't keep me interested.

A Glimpse of Hell, a review by Rich

A Glimpse of Hell



On April 19, 1989, an explosion during training exercises in Gun Turret number two of the U.S.S. Iowa, a storied battleship, created more than one firestorm; Besides the one that killed more than 40 sailors, a scandal swept the nation that put ...    Full Descriptionthe U.S. Navy on the defensive. The Navy, in what some suspected was an attempt to cover up unauthorized artillery experiments by enlisted men, accused one of the dead men of being a suicidal homosexual and setting off the explosion in a fit of jealous rage. Idealistic Lieutenant Dan Meyer (Robert Sean Leonard), a witness to the tragedy, whose father was an honored military man, must square off with the ship's longtime, but remote captain, Fred Moosally (James Caan), when testifying during the heated and nationally televised investigation by the Pentagon.

Reasonably well told adaptation of a true event, this was a pleasant surprise from a blind buy. The acting is solid throughout, for a change Caan is watchable, and Robert Sean Leonard (Wilson in House MD) gives a convincing performance as the whistle blowing Lieutenant. It sticks very close to the facts, so at times it did plod along with predictability and mediocraty, but for me the political edge was an interesting accompiniment.

Guest Stars:
Jerry Hardin as Deep Throat
Michael Bryan French as Paul Mossinger

My Thoughts:
Second episode... and still on the UFOs and such. Not that it is a bad episode. It is interesting. But the main reason I am doing this is to see the Freak-of-the-week episodes again. As I said... those has always been my favorite episodes. As I said... I do like this episode but not as much as I did the pilot. I did like the light show in the sky in this one though (about 15 min into the episode). I also liked Seth Green as stoner UFO watcher.

My Rating:
