Although not the best war movie ever made, U-571 was pretty darn good. The actions are a bit hard to follow at times (not the plot though), but it keeps you on your toes. The cast was excellent. Many avid movie goers and TV fans may spend most of their time trying to figure out where they've seen those fresh young faces before. Many comments I read say that the movie was too predictable, but I seriously was waiting on the edge of my seat to see the conclusion. If the characters are thought about enough, they reveal depth and personality, but the action will satisfy the less stimulated minds. I am sure the movie is not historically correct by any means, but it sure is a good ride.
