Murphy's War (1971)
6/10
low tension war drama
6 January 2024
Murphy (Peter O'Toole) is a sole survivor after a U-boat sinks his ship and massacres his crewmates. He wakes up being treated by Quaker Dr. Hayden. He is obsessed with finding the U-boat. He is certain that it had sneak up the Orinoco in Venezuela.

In the era of the Vietnam war, this is a bit old fashion as Peter O'Toole fights the good fight. A lot of this is down to him. His fans will enjoy spending time with him. There is nothing wrong with that. This is a rather straight forward war movie. Tension is limited. It has some interesting machinery and functional action scenes. O'Toole actually does some of the flying and he does obsession well. I like the seaplane and the submarine. It's not the most exciting.
