Historically inaccurate but good sub movie SPOILER ALERT!

Rating: 7/10 (8 October 2003)

U-571 isn't Das Boot but it will satisfy war movie lovers for now. The effects and the sets are very well done but the characters are a different story entirely. There is very little in the way of good acting, even considering the caliber of the cast. Character development is almost nonexistant. The only good thing about the character development is they kill Bon Jovi. He should stick to making music that sucks and should stay away from lending his suck talents to movies. The U-571 itself looks very good and realistic and the DVD shows the construction of all the sets and the sub. Matthew McConaughey does an average job and I can say the same for Bill Paxton and Harvey Keitel. I was expecting more action. There is some action but I was expecting more. Bottom Line: It isn't a classic, but it is entertaining.
