Action | Drama | War

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.

User Comment: River City Movie Critic • I knew "U-571" was going to contain all the characteristics of an excellent film; however, what I failed to recognize was the tremendous impact "U-571" had on me. Films that have been based upon true stories have always been my favorites. Star power, jaw dropping, action, suspense and edge of your seat action sequences are just a few of the many reasons "U-571" is successful. With the number of explosions and battle sequences on board and at sea, I have I have come up with a phrase to characterize this film; "Saving Private Ryan" on a submarine. It puts on the edge of your seat without letting you know about it; that is how I felt as I was watching it. I truly did not know what would happen next and with each scene it just got better. If you haven't already seen this movie I recommend that you see it as soon as you can because it is one movie that does not deserve to be missed.

Summary: U must watch this movie
