"I'm going to blow that Nazi Boat, right out of the water!"

Rating: 2/10 (9 November 2018)

You can say the title in a deep John Wayne accent but one star would have been a bit unfair; though you just can't re-write history like this (or can you?). For anyone who does not know, The U.S had nothing to do with anything you see, depicted in this movie. It's even titled after the wrong boat. The real U-110 was captured (complete with an Enigma machine) by the British Royal Navy in 1941. Actually U-571, was a legendary German Boat, that sunk over 42,000 tons of Allied shipping. Whilst 'Das Boot' is a strong candidate for the best ever movie, 'U-571' remains a shameful turkey. I think it's the only film in history, to spark a serious debate in the 'House of Commons'. The insult was taken so deeply (excuse the pun). The 2 stars go to some great shots of a U-Boat but really nothing else.
