Ironically shallow

Rating: 3/10 (12 May 2000)

Though the characters are often in "deep" trouble, they development of characters is non-existent, causing them to be, in the viewers' eyes, shallow. With plot holes galore, miscasting (Bill Paxton), and a weak script for both the plot and dialogue, "U-571" is a disappointment.

Instead, I recommend the German film "Das Boot" (1982).
