Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2007)

OK,first things 1st.this movie is almost certainly not completely accurate historically,so if that's what you expect,you'll be disappointed.but if you can put that aside,you should love this movie.anyway,on with the show.this movie takes place during the 2nd World War.it focuses on a small group of Americans and a very important mission,one that would eventually turn the tide of the War.virtually all the action takes place at sea,and i gotta say,the tension in this thing nearly wrecked me.there were times i couldn't breathe and other times i thought i was=as gonna explode.if you like nail-biting down to the millisecond suspense,i can't see how you wouldn't love this one.there's not a lot of room for character development,but that's a good thing in this case.in fact,it may have ruined the movie.it's so well directed,i still can't believe.as a matter of fact as i'm writing this,my nerves are still shredded.this brilliant film was directed by Jonathon Mostow,who also wrote the story and the screenplay.He also directed and wrote both the story and screenplay for "Breakdown" another really good film,but nothing compared to this.anyway,i could go on forever,but for sheer tension and suspense,this is hands down,the best movie of its type i have seen,and i have sen some great ones."U-571" is off the charts for this rating system,so i'll give it 10+++/10
