Everyone's a critic... and most are bad ones

Rating: 6/10 (11 March 2008)

Geez, some of the reviews here treat this as if it was a genuine WW2 newsreel that someone turned into a rap video...
Preface: Movies are, in a way, like a beauty contest. You sit and watch and are entertained by the eye candy. But for those who insist on looking up every skirt, and yanking every bra in search of padding, there will be an inevitable disappointment.
Truth: U-571 is a good action movie... and a good war flick. It doesn't pretend to be anything that it is not and doesn't promise a cameo by Sir Winston Churchill.
In Sum: An American sub crew is given a mission to reach a distressed German sub before a relief party can arrive. Along the way, there are a lot of things that bleed and go bang. Not unlike a real war but we all know it's just a movie and that in the end, it's all for our amusement.
At least, most of us know that.
I personally recommend this movie for those who enjoy war scenarios and close-quartered action sequences.
