(action, drama, war)
In the midst of World War II, the battle below the seas rages. The Nazi's have the upper edge as the Allies are unable to crack their war codes. That is, until a wrecked U-boat sends out an SOS signal, and the Allies realise this is their chance to seize the 'enigma coding machine'. But masquerading as Nazi's and taking over the U-boat is the smallest of their problems. The action really begins when they get stranded on the U-boat.

Proponents of this movie, stop lloriqueo that "it is only a movie."
Fellow Americans, stop being so friggin 'defensive when people complain about the
pathetic, insipid, insulting positions we do.
By now anyone who has read anything about this movie are known to the English
and non-Americans captured the Enigma machine (and also to the
moment when history is conducts apparently, the U.S. even in the
war).
But here is the most evil kinds of "U-571" - director Jonathan Mostowa
in many interviews has complained that the great submarine movie "Das Boot"
a lie, as it portrays the German crew as sailors, soldiers,
human beings and not Nazis. This is why it opens his film with the U-boat crew
Gunning a lifeboat of helpless, unarmed Allied survivors. Jonathan
Mostowa perpetuates every lie, every time the propaganda war manufacturing
every stereotype ever perpetrated on the enemy. During that war propaganda
needed ... but this is sixty years later. Nobody is in any way excuse
monstrosity of the Nazis. But it is stupid and blind
to describe each and every German as a cut from the same blood stained cloth. Even
English viewers - who are much, much more reason to hate the Nazis than any
americas - have rushed to point out the foulness of Mostowa vision.
This is another heroic epic film about the escalation of Americans in a situation
, destroying everything and creating an unhealthy and polarized
sense of morality (well kill the Americans evil Germans). You could label this film
racist ... perhaps acceptable when propaganda
necessary (in the 40's), but certainly not 50 years after the fact.
The film also fails to capture a good sense of life in one of these
submarines ... as the film focuses on military glory and
good triumphing over evil, potentially powerful, more subtle moments of suspense
are irretrievably lost, and the film degenerates into a confusion of deaf ago
trumpets and overly justified violence.
It is impossible to watch this without thinking of Das Boot, and how much
the most powerful cinematography and direction are, let alone how much more tolerant and
an accurate picture that paints morality of war
and Germans as real people during the war.
My rating is 2 / 10 on this movie, because you've wasted a potential
powerful concept in senseless and destructive entertainment, questioned
Germans as human beings, took millions dollars to do so, and
is essentially a cultural regression of his ancestor Das Boot,
made 20 years earlier.
