A so-so no brainer adventure/suspense flick about U-Boats

Rating: 6/10 (3 October 2000)

"U-571" has a good cast, is reasonably entertaining, and manages to generate some suspense though the creaking hull and spraying water pipes do get old after awhile. Although the film is fraught with glitches from historical inaccuracies to technical foibles it may have some appeal for younger audiences who haven't seen some of the better submariner flicks in decades past.
