Great movie, very gripping and suspenseful

Rating: Null/10 (21 April 2000)

I am a big fan of WW II movies, particularly movies about sea battles, and U-571 is a terrific submarine movie with much of the choking, claustrophobic feel of Das Boot. It is a fine addition to the tradition of great submarine movies that includes Run Silent, Run Deep, The Enemy Below, and The Search for Red October. The special effects really give you a seamless sense of the action, and do not distract you with unbelievable models and matte shots.
This movie is a must see for war movie aficionados.
