great movie for all to enjoy

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2004)

"U-571" has star power, excellent jaw dropping action and nail biting suspense and explosions; only a few reasons to watch this movie.

I have never been a huge fan of Matthew McConaughey, but I came away from the movie with a new appreciation and newfound respect for him and his talent.
Another great addition was Harvey Keitel, who is one of the most brilliant and versatile actors. Keitel turns in another outstanding performance in "U-571". I will never get tired of Harvey Keitel movies because he is so good at what he does.
If I had to characterize this movie, I would say it was like "Saving Private Ryan" in a submarine. The plot to "U-571" revolved around a group of sailors with a mission to recover a German enigma, which can transmit secret codes from the German ships to their home base.
"U-571" is one of those movies that puts on the edge of your seat without letting you know about it; that is how I felt as I was watching it. I truly did not know what would happen next and with each scene it just got better.

I don't know who to commend, the director for putting together a perfect movie, the actors for turning in one of the best ensemble cast performances of the year or the writer for making it happen. I think it belongs to each and everyone involved with "U-571."
If you haven't already seen this movie I recommend that you see it as soon as you can because it is one movie that does not deserve to be missed.
