The moving-picture show stars Gerard Butler and Gary Oldman with Michael Nyqvist (in ane of his final picture show roles), Common, Linda Cardellini and Toby Stephens in supporting roles, and follows a submarine crew and a group of United States Navy SEALs who rescue the captured Russian President from a coup.

Hunter Killer was released in the United States on Oct 26, 2018, by Acme Premiere. A disappointment at the box-function, the film received mixed reviews from critics, who saw it as "an undemanding, by-the-numbers actioner".[4]

Plot [edit]

The U.S. Los Angeles class submarine USS Tampa Bay vanishes while shadowing the Russian Akula-grade submarine Konek in the Arctic. Rear Admiral John Fisk (Common) sends the Virginia-class submarine USSArkansas, under the command of newly promoted and unorthodox Commander Joe Glass (Gerard Butler) to investigate.

At the same time, a Navy SEAL team under the control of Lieutenant Bill Beaman (Toby Stephens) is sent in to discreetly observe the Russian naval base of operations in Polyarny, Murmansk Oblast, but their mission is swiftly complicated when Martinelli (Zane Holtz), the team's new designated marksman recruit, is injured during the HALO drib. When they arrive at the naval base, they witness defense minister, Admiral of the Fleet Dmitriy Durov (Mikhail Gorevoy), conducting a coup d'état and taking Russian President Nikolai Zakarin (Alexander Dyachenko) prisoner, and swiftly realize that Durov intends to trigger a war. Their location is almost discovered by the Russians during a radio intercept check, just the SEALs manage to hide away undetected. Martinelli is shot in the leg by a Russian officeholder firing blindly into their hiding location, forcing the team to leave him backside.

Meanwhile, Arkansas discovers the destroyed Tampa Bay, and too finds the sunken Russian submarine Konek damaged in a manner that suggests internal demolition rather than external attack. They are attacked by another Russian Akula submarine, Volkov, that has been hiding under an iceberg, but Glass is able to destroy the ambusher and rescue Russian survivors from Konek, including its commanding officeholder, Helm 2nd rank Sergei Andropov (Michael Nyqvist).

Back at base, the U.S. government learns about the coup. Admiral Charles Donnegan (Gary Oldman) recommends preparing for state of war, while Fisk suggests that Arkansas exist sent to rendezvous with Beaman's team after they take rescued Zakarin. Glass manages to convince the reluctant Andropov to help, and with Andropov's knowledge of the challenging underwater topography and the minefield protecting the base, Glass navigates Arkansas almost the base undetected. Meanwhile, Beaman's team rescue Russian Presidential Security Service Agent Oleg (Yuri Kolokolnikov), who was previously shot by Durov's men when he tried to end Durov from holding Zakarin hostage. Together they infiltrate the base and succeed in retrieving President Zakarin, simply lose Oleg, and ii teammates, Devin Hall (Michael Trucco) and Matt Johnstone (Ryan McPartlin), in the procedure. With Martinelli providing sniper cover fire, Beaman delivers the injured president to Arkansas 's deep-submergence rescue vehicle, then goes back lonely for Martinelli, saving him but before he was almost to be executed.

Equally U.Southward. and Russian fleets face off for battle, Arkansas sustains further harm when they are attacked by Andropov'south erstwhile ship, RFS Yevchenko—a heavily armed destroyer now commanded by Captain Vlade Sutrev (Ilia Volok), a member of Durov'south conspiracy—but Andropov is able to communicate a message affirming that President Zakarin is aboard the submarine. When Durov orders his forces at the base to fire missiles at the surfaced Arkansas, Drinking glass refuses to have activity, recognizing that firing dorsum at the Russians could start the war he is trying to stop. In the last seconds, Andropov's former crewmates defy orders and destroy the incoming missiles with the close-in weapon organisation before they tin strike Arkansas, and subsequently destroy Durov'due south naval base of operations headquarters with their missiles. With the war averted, Drinking glass docks Arkansas to the Russian naval base of operations to return Zakarin and Andropov'southward surviving crew to their state. Arkansas picks up Beaman and Martinelli, and travels dorsum to the U.South. with a Russian Navy escort.

Bilge Ebiri of Vulture.com wrote:

Hunter Killer won't win any awards for originality, simply it may win a couple for the brazenness with which it stacks clichés upon clichés. Basically, information technology's Ruby-red Tide meets Solitary Survivor meets Under Siege meets a Russian variation on Olympus Has Fallen, with a chip of Geostorm thrown in. At to the lowest degree 3 of those movies are pretty good, so the overall math works in the film's favor."[37]

Norman Wilner of Toronto's At present accused Marsh for ripping off John McTiernan'south The Hunt For Red October and stated that "The abiding agitation and bone-deep respect for all things military is straight out of Clancy'south playbook, only at that place'due south no Jack Ryan effigy to humanize it all."[38]
