Incredible!

As far as credibility goes, the US did, in fact, recover an enigma machine during WW2, but it was in 1944, several years after the English had not only captured several, whole or in pieces, but had cracked the code as well. (The machine by itself would've been worthless without the British organization and brain power it took to decipher the codes).
Seeing this movie in the theater was at turns oppressive and hilarious. It was, in a word, LOUD! I'd love to have a count of the depth charges it took to damage the 571 in the first place, vs. those that were dropped later to no significant effect on our stalwart heroes.
NOTHING could kill these guys! I'd love to see this remade as a comedy, although the dialog and situations were funny enough as is. When the guys turned to paddle their raft off into the sunset like men on a mission, everyone around me laughed out loud!
