Great sci-fi story with gripping scenes and superb acting. A real technical achievement by director Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise is fabulous.

I saw this film in the cinema when it first came out and liked it so bought this DVD when it came up as a bargain on eBay. It has a very interesting premise that in the year 2054 (?) three people are kept by the state who have special pre-cognitive abilities and predict murders before they occur. The politicians (led by the Max von Sydow character) have invested in a special police force (led by the Tom Cruise character) to intercept the murderers before they commit the act and lock them away ('precrime'). A prediction is made that the Tom Cruise character himself will commit a murder and a federal policeman (the Colin Farrell character) arrogantly tries to stop him. There are many plot twists and turns after this. Lots and lots of interesting ideas and executed really well by director Stephen Speilberg. The film was based on an original story by Philip Dick. I wasn't as convinced of the motives for the main characters the 2nd time of seeing it and the glimpses into the future weren't quite as delightful, but still most absorbing and if you've never seen the film I would highly commend it. There were no bonus features on this DVD.Read full review
A U.S. Navy captain and his crew are just beginning to enjoy 48 hours of leave when they receive word to immediately return to duty. On a top-secret assignment, they must disguise themselves as Nazis and infiltrate a severely damaged Nazi U-boat. Once on board, they are to steal the Nazi’s top-secret decoding device and sink the sub before the Germans catch on to what’s really happening. Their mission is more dangerous and frightening than anything they could have ever imagined, but one which has the power to turn the tide of battle. “U-571 is exciting!” says Newsweek. Filled with incredible explosions, raging fires and speeding torpedoes, this suspense-filled, action-packed film sets a new standard for high-impact entertainment and features an impressive all-star cast.
