Entertaining Spectacle

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2000)

Laden with 'Yankee Supermen' and 'Nazi Monsters' cliches, U-571 is visually stunning when seen in the Cinema, with visual effects that should be Oscar nominated. The story is gripping if not original, while Keitel and McConaughey give good performances. This is no 'Das Boot', but it will appease most fans of the action/adventure genre.
