Brilliant War Drama

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2005)

Where U-571 lacks in historical accuracy it makes up with an incredibly believable cast and extremely well paced drama. The tension feels real as do many parts of the film, but it does not become too preachy or try to force ideals where they don't belong. It is also not overly patriotic which is a trait I enjoy in most war-films.
The actors have great line delivery and the film never falls short even in its more action-based scenes.
Before watching a movie like this you have to ask yourself if you're willing to believe what is happening in the movie. If you're not you shouldn't watch it. If you are, then you're in for a great experience.
