The Submarine Kid is fictionally based on a comic book story, and there are two ghosts, "shell shock" (PTSD), and tons of F-bombs which distract from the story and were completely unnecessary to the plot. Not a bad little flick for a movie date night if you've seen the most recent version of The Last Tycoon or have already enjoyed Cafe Society or have seen Funny Girl too many times to count. Six stars for good, believable acting and for necessarily downplaying the PTSD while making a strong statement against war. Finn Wittrock is a good actor, and the girl who plays the ghost from the early 1960s is delightful--really spunky. The chemistry of the two main characters leads the viewer to believe that they are actual lovers.
