“U-571”
"U-571"First let's get something straight right off the top, this film should not be viewed as any kind of historical document. It is simply an action movie that takes place on submarines during WWII. On its own terms it's a decent enough movie with many of the details of u-boat operation shown with reasonable accuracy. Starring Matt McConaughey and Bill Paxton the film is rated PG-13. If you want to see the best submarine movie ever made, check out Wolfgang Petersen's "Das Boot" and to see it as nature intended rent the DVD and watch it in widescreen and in german.
