COUNTER MEASURES (1998)

MORGAN'S RATING

Armageddon on the high seas! The Odessa, an elite Russian Nuclear Submarine, has been hijacked in Syrian waters. On board is a doomsday device that could trigger a nuclear holocaust and obliterate half the world. Submarine expert Zach Silver and the USS Springfield have been deployed to use every weapon and every breath to dismantle the terrorists' diabolical plan -- and the Odessa -- in this frantic race against time.

CRITICAL COMMENTS

"Michael Dudikoff has been in so many military action flicks I think the Secretary of Defense should just give him an honorary commission. They change the tone a little bit in this one, but it's the same old same old." -- Bad Movie Planet
