In the midst of World War II, the battle below the seas rages. The Nazis 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 realize this is their chance to seize the &#39;enigma coding machine&#39;. But masquerading as Nazis and taking over the U-boat is the smallest of their problems. The action really begins when they get stranded on the U-boat.
During World War II, the Allies were having trouble against the German Navy especially their U-Boats because of their highly sophisticated cipher machines. When a German U-Boat is damaged and is waiting for assistance, the Americans decide that this is an opportunity for them to get the machine. So they have one of their subs made up to look like a German, and plan to pretend to be the ship sent to assist them and take control of the U-Boat and take the machine and destroy the sub so that the Germans will not know that they have the machine. And everything went according to plan; they got the machine and transferred the crew to their sub and were about to leave when out of nowhere they&#39;re hit by a torpedo from the German relief sub. The members of the crew who were not on board the sub, proceed to board the German U-Boat and try to make it back. Now the senior officer is the sub&#39;s XO who&#39;s eager to be in command but his commander had told him earlier that he felt he was not ready because he might not be ready to make tough decisions. And now he has to, if he and the survivors are to survive.
Okay, I admit it.  I love naval dramas, particularly where there are submarines involved.  Three of my top ten favorite films are submarine movies (The Hunt for Red October, Das Boot, and Crimson Tide).  So when you look at the rating I&#39;ve given U-571, you can assume that two of the stars were guaranteed based on the subject alone.<br/><br/>For me, U-571 was eagerly anticipated.  I&#39;d see the previews, sitting on the edge of my seat, with my knees bouncing like a kid about to receive his first ice cream cone of the summer.  My one concern was that this movie was going to completely distort the true history of the capture of the enigma machine in World War II.  However, they easily alleviated that concern at the end by describing the actual events.<br/><br/>Set near the U.S. entry into World War II, this is the fictitious story of an American submarine outfitted to look like a German submarine and assigned the task of capturing a crippled German sub&#39;s code-decryption machine (enigma).  The mission was nearly a success when the boarding party found itself stranded on the German sub in hostile waters.<br/><br/>The cast of U-571 was nothing short of phenomenal. It starred Bill Paxton (Lt. Commander Mike Dahlgren), Matthew McConaughey (Lt. Andrew Tyler), and David Keith (Major Coonan).  Also in a leading role was one of my favorites, Harvey Keitel (Chief Klough), who finally gets to play a good guy!  I also thought that the relative unknown, Jack Noseworthy (Sonarman Wentz) deserved honorable mention.<br/><br/>I want to say that the special effects were great, but I can&#39;t remember a single one.  I never thought, `that&#39;s a great model&#39; or `boy that explosion looked real&#39;.  When you think about it, the best effects are those you don&#39;t notice.<br/><br/>I will admit that there were a few lines that bordered on cliché.  `You never gave up Sir&#39; immediately comes to mind.  But ultimately this movie was a lot of fun.  The action was nearly constant and the claustrophobic sense was second only to Das Boot. During one particularly intense depth-charge scene, I glanced at the friend watching the movie with me.  His mouth was hung wide open and the shudder from each explosion caused him to twitch.<br/><br/>This movie will be on my shelf the day it&#39;s released on DVD
Yet another example of American Cultural Imperialism through popular culture.  It is all fair and good to be aware this film is not going to be historically accurate, but average cinema goers will leave thinking goody, America saves the day again without realising the fact that history is being rewritten to credit America.  It may well be only a movie, but think of the implications, it could mean that in the future all historical accomplishments will have movies made about them- only Americans were the heros rather then people from whatever nation that really should be credited.  I guess if you are American, this wouldn&#39;t be so bad since it&#39;s not like you have much of a history anyway- why don&#39;t create history by re-writing it.  If you are not American, we have much to worry about.
Full of old tricks - cuts between worried faces and overheated gauges inching into the red zone - but director Mostow pulls most of them off with conviction and pizazz.
No. It was never intended to be a documentary. It&#39;s an action/suspense film based on submarine warfare during WWII. Inspired by actual events, as the majority of WWII movies are. The actual U-571 was never captured by either the British or the Americans - she was sunk off the Irish coast by a torpedo launched from a Shorts Sunderland Flying boat from No. 461 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force.<br/><br/>(It should be noted that U-570 was captured by the British on her first patrol and saw service as HMS Graph from 1942 until 1944, when she was withdrawn from service due to maintenance issues).<br/><br/>The Enigma machine was actually first captured by the British, a fact the filmmakers acknowledged in the end credits of this movie. Out of the thousands of hours logged by U-boats, there is only one recorded incident in which a German captain gave the order to fire on torpedoed survivors. U-boat crews were more humanitarian and often provided aid to their victims before submerging. They very rarely brought survivors with them as space on a boat was extremely cramped for its own crew; often times the U-boats just simply left them to die, as seen in Das Boot. So the shooting of survivors in this film could be seen more as mercy killings rather than leaving them to die.<br/><br/>In terms of the film, it&#39;s likely that because U-571 was so badly crippled, short on crew members and supplies, with sensitive information aboard, it was too risky to leave the British survivors to possibly report their position. Not to mention, as we see with Taylor and his crew keeping Wassner alive; sabotage is a possibility as well.  a5c7b9f00b
