High on action but low on realism. And don't even start about logical errors, the obivous being [spoiler] how they reach the German boat from America faster then the Germans did from France with a head start. [/spoiler] To be fair, the movie does not claim to be historically accurate but it was the British who captured and decoded Enigma. I don't think there even was any US involvement. The whole plot could have come straight from a 50s war movie, pure fabrication with total US heroism. Shame, because technically this is not bad at all.

_U-571_ is a fantastic WWII movie that balances a compelling plot with a fair amount of historical context and entertainment. While it may not be the most accurate representation of the events it's based on, it still provides a gripping narrative that immerses you in the wartime atmosphere. It successfully blends history with thrilling action, making it a satisfying watch for both history buffs and fans of wartime dramas.

Good, high octane war drama. Although it’s historical accuracy is dubious, the movie was great and has aged well.

Also… Bon Jovi is in this. :grin:

Semi-decent action scenes, though not very deep (pardon the pun) on character development, plot, or realism, and I’m pretty sure Mickey Mouse could have written a script with fewer cliches. 5/10

U-571 is a thrilling and powerful war film from writer/director Jonathan Mostow. The story follows the crew of a US Navy submarine that is sent on a secret mission to recover an Enigma decoder from a disabled German U-boat. Starring Matthew McConaugey, Harvey Keitel, and Bill Paxton, the film has a strong cast. The writing is also rather good, and does an excellent job at creating suspenseful and intense battle scenes. Additionally, the directing is impressive and brings a lot of energy and excitement to the film. Well-crafted, U-571 is action packed and delivers an incredible high-seas adventure.
