WW II Painted with a Broad Brush

Rating: 2/10 (25 August 2001)

U-571 is quite simply the worst WW II movie ever made. The talents of such fine actors as Bill Paxton and Harvey Keitel can't save this watery lead weight.
The screenplay was written as if the viewers were twelve and if the plot points were not sledge hammered home they wouldn't get the story.
The special effects were laughable. There have been many well told and filmed stories about submarine life. I suggest that you rent one of them.
