Pointless.....

Rating: Null/10 (17 August 2000)

I was expecting a good old-fashioned action/war movie when I saw U-571, unfortunately the results weren't good. Although, in places U-571 is a highly entertaining film, it quickly falls short with a terrible script, awful acting, bad direction and an overly-long running time. The great cast which includes superstars Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton and Harvey Keitel even fail to make the film even better.
All in all, U-571 is not a totally terrible film, it is bound to give you chills with the awesome sound and great effects, but it is definitely one I wouldn't rush out to see again.
