Entertaining but historicaly inacurate.

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2001)

U-571 is a very entertaining film and most people could not fail to be entertained by this. It is the Story of a group US navy who are sent on a mission to retreve the German Enigma Coding machine which is crucial to the outcome of the second world war. Mathew McConaughey, Harvey Keitel and Jon Bon Jovi star in this fascinating war movie. The DVD has some superb sound and visual affects so crank up the surround sound. The biggest problem i have with the film is that quite a major historical change is made to the story. Instead of the navy being the British Royal Navy , which actualy stole the enigma machine , all the heroes in this film just happen to be from the US navy which is strange because they never stole one of the coding machines until 2 years later , in which time the British had already stolen 2!!!!. Never mind, thats Hollywood i suppose. 7 out of 10.
