ReviewsEntertainment Weekly - "...Excitingly taut and kinetic....Leaps from one suspense gambit to the next..." -- Rating: A-, Los Angeles Times - ...[The film] gets high marks for tension and excitement. The action sequences are bracing and involving..., Box Office - ...A rousing, old-fashioned submarine adventure....Just the right blend of adventure, action and gritty realism to keep audiences riveted throughout....A smart, slick crowd-pleaser..., Movieline - ...[A] smooth white-knuckler....It's a simple pleasure to watch..., Total Film - ...[A] well-executed tale...mixing some cinema-rumbling big bangs with plenty of screen-cinging pyrotechnics..., Rolling Stone - ...Matthew McConaughey delivers a tense, terrific performance...
Additional InformationFaithful to the conventions of the World War II genre, Mostow's (BREAKDOWN) submarine thriller pays earnest homage to the pluck and determination of ordinary people forced to overcome extraordinary odds. The mostly young and inexperienced crew of the S-33 is deployed on a top secret, high-priority mission to intercept a disabled German u-boat (the titular U-571) and capture the ship's encryption system--the Enigma--in order to crack the Nazi's communication codes and hasten an allied victory in the North Atlantic. Racing against a German rescue effort, the S-33 stages a daring raid on the U-571. But after capturing the U-571, the Americans find themselves its prisoner as they must pilot the leaky, disabled vessel through hostile enemy waters. McConaughey (EDTV, DAZED AND CONFUSED) leads a strong cast (Keitel - HOLY SMOKE, Paxton - A SIMPLE PLAN) in this fast-paced, tense, submarine adventure.

  • Poor film. Leave well alone..

    Difficult to comprehend a lot of the speech. Attack scenes are so badly filmed you can't see who's getting injured or indeed who is actually fighting.

  • Good action movie.

    Though entertaining the story is s complete fabrication.the action that captured the Enigma machine was made by a British destroyer BEFORE the Americans even entered WW2 Once again Holywood twists history.
