Based on a tragic true story, K-19 is a grueling watch. The cast is stacked, and Katherine Bigelow is an excellent director, but this isn't something I care to watch again. I found its biggest flaw to be that I did not sympathesize with some of the most prominent characters in the end, which left me feeling a bit cold about the whole experience. This also marks, for me, the end of Bigelow's prime. She went on to get her broadest acclaim for movies made after this, but they lack the soul of her earlier works like Near Dark and Point Break.
