If you were to watch this in 2000 then for sure it might have a bigger impact. Straight from the spoiling title you realize what the whole idea of the movie is. A new African-american recruit wants to become a navy diver so he relies on his ambition to make it into probably the most racist communities out there: the US navy. If it were’t for Cuba Gooding Jr. and especially for Robert DeNiro, this movie might have never been nominated for a Grammy. Worth while seeing it once dough.
