And let's not forget that there's some Germans still on board the sub as well. Mostow has created a real thriller here. Featuring a top notch cast that includes Harvey Keitel, Bill Paxton, David Keith and Matthew McCaughey, U-571 will keep you on the edge of your seat. While a majority of the film takes place on board submarines, there are a few scenes that take place during the day. For the most part, the image is almost perfect, I only noticed a few spots where there was some minor pixelation.
Black levels are right on and edge enhancement is kept to a minimum as well.
The only thing I can think that might have affected this transfer was the addition of a DTS 5.1 track. Still, I'd rather have two audio tracks and a very good picture anyday. Overall, the image is next to perfect and one that shouldn't disappoint. I listened to the DTS while watching the movie and then went back and compared some parts using the Dolby Digital version. I can say that no matter which version you choose, you'll be happy.
