U-571
Faithful to the conventions of the World War II genre, Mostow's (BREAKDOWN) submarine thriller pays earnest homage to the pluck and determination of ordinary people forced to overcome extraordinary odds. The mostly young and inexperienced crew of the S-33 is deployed on a top secret, high-priority mission to intercept a disabled German u-boat (the titular U-571) and capture the ship's encryption system--the Enigma--in order to crack the Nazi's communication codes and hasten an allied victory in the North Atlantic. Racing against a German rescue effort, the S-33 stages a daring raid on the U-571. But after capturing the U-571, the Americans find themselves its prisoner as they must pilot the leaky, disabled vessel through hostile enemy waters. McConaughey (EDTV, DAZED AND CONFUSED) leads a strong cast (Keitel - HOLY SMOKE, Paxton - A SIMPLE PLAN) in this fast-paced, tense, submarine adventure.

An entertaining movie..pity your reviewers don't read the credits!
As a movie, the challenge for the director was to produce an entertaining and gripping motion picture when at the same time the audience knows (or can guess) ... read more »

Ok - so we know the storyline is rubbish
and we know that this really is a 'thank God for the Americans' Hollywood effort, but take all that away and just sit back and enjoy the film. Not a ... read more »

Another American flop
This is a typical American 'version' of history. Very good for Americans so that they can continue to live inside their 'version of history'. ... read more »
