U-Boat

Rating: 8/10 (22 February 2008)

Just got done watching this one, for the 2nd time and it gets better every time i see it. I know that it's not fair to compare this to Das Boot my favorite World War 2 movie, but the comparisons are romped on this site, i think this one is just a hair below Das Boot , you can't get any better than that,, but back to this one,, I think that Matthew Mcgonaghey looked well kinda out of place in this one,, i liked Harvey Keitel's performance. Bill Paxton was alright, i liked all of the action scenes, the underwater stuff, the plot line,, the story all of that,, since i'm a sucker for submarine movies, all the intrigue about the Germans was pretty good, but what i think that this film did lack that DAs Boot had was the backstory, and the other scenes that didn't involve the sub ,, like Central Command,, the updates from Headquarters, stuff like that,, but hey other than that i mean this was a terrific movie that really is top of the line, with only a couple of minor flaws.
