Not bad, on the edge of your seat until the end of the movie.

Rating: 7/10 (23 October 2000)

Might have spoilers:
I had this movie sitting around a 9 star until I hit the end of the movie. The ending was a bit of a letdown. So I gave it a 7. But it's a very good movie action wise. Some people like to compare this to Das Boot. There is no comparison really. The two movies have different directions and I don't wanna compare the two. While Das Boot is going after ethics, U-571 is going after an encoder. However there are times in this movie where (like Hunt for red october)that I doubt this scenes for the sub were shot under water. Scenes when the explosions go off that the boat shooked faster than it would for a boat of that size. But the insides were beautifully shot. I woulda loved to see this in a theater.
