Action-packed

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2005)

One heck of a movie if you take it for what it is. U-571 is a submarine thriller about a crew who takes over a German U-Boat and then is stranded on it. The movie explains it better than I do and it is fairly believable for the most part. The movie even adds a little character study of it's main character(played by Matthew McConaughey). Not much though. This film's purpose is keeping you on the edge of your seat and it succeeds to the fullest. It has great special effects, decent acting, and is not dragged down in the slightest by its script or plot. If you want to have a thoroughly enjoyable movie watching experience then rent U-571.
