agreed. And Andy Garcia could have been interesting.

The main issue with Phantom is that it tries to mix a techno-political-thriller like "Red November" (Phantom, Dark Star, Russian tech vs. U.S. tech) with a supernatural-thriller like "Below" (visions, noises, the ending). So many plot twists are mentioend for just few ses/min each, making it an unnecessarily confusing film to follow. The only saving grace is the solid performance by all involved, and the good directing and soundtrack. After watching it for a second time, I actually quite like it and change my rating to 7. Plus it has Mulder!

Yes. There was a supernatural element that was excised from the story.
Had much to do with the Captain's haunted visions.
Sadly, eliminated.
