Super action movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2008)

U-571 is one of the best WWII films ever done. Historically inaccurate, but big deal. Little character development, but who cares. The actual workings of submarines in those awful days before compfy nukeboats are displayed in magnificent detail, as are the disciplines necessary to operate them in extreme conditions. The effects of depth-charges are well-portrayed and the action keeps the viewer anxious and in the moment throughout. Sub-vets love this film. Naturally, I disagree with those Euro-centrist neo-fabians who've torn their hair out in manufactured-shame and deride this film as "pro-American" as if that's some sort of horrendous sin. Liberals in Hollywood continuously rewrite history and expect us to believe their lefty propaganda as if it's scripture; remember the historically-inaccurate "Inherit the Wind"? or, "Bowling for Columbine"? Go ahead, you limousine-socialists, sip your tea with your pinkies extended and defame American culture. A good pro-American flick is a joy to behold.
