lousy, historically wrong movie

Rating: 3/10 (5 January 2003)

Sure, German propaganda mislead the people and let them make bad things. But U-571 does not show this aspect of "the enemies". They are thoroughly evil and bad and do nothing good! Sure, there were these kind of people (more or less AND not only on the German's side) but they were certainly not all like this.
As everyone knows by now, the movie includes numerous historical and technical lies and rarely shows what could've been true. I think I cannot say anymore than that what has been written in the comments before. Even if I would forget these lies and untruths I could not describe it as a good action movie as the plot is too predictable and boring. It has some entertaining moments though. But as the story is so illogical and spoiled, i cannot give the movie a good or average rating.
If you want to look a better sub movie which shows the real life in a sub, get "Das Boot", which is far more better than this trash-movie.
3/10
