Movie synopsis
Faithful to the conventions of the World War II genre, Mostow's (BREAKDOWN) submarine thriller pays earnest homage to the pluck and determination of ordinary people forced to overcome extraordinary odds. The mostly young and inexperienced crew of the S-33 is deployed on a top secret, high-priority mission to intercept a disabled German u-boat (the titular U-571) and capture the ship's encryption system--the Enigma--in order to crack the Nazi's communication codes and hasten an allied victory in the North Atlantic. Racing against a German rescue effort, the S-33 stages a daring raid on the U-571. But after capturing the U-571, the Americans find themselves its prisoner as they must pilot the leaky, disabled vessel through hostile enemy waters. McConaughey (EDTV, DAZED AND CONFUSED) leads a strong cast (Keitel - HOLY SMOKE, Paxton - A SIMPLE PLAN) in this fast-paced, tense, submarine adventure.

This is a must buy for anyone who has surround sound. The depth charge scene will work your subwoofer to the extreme. The video I would give four stars, but the DTS-HD audio track is 5 stars.
Great Historical Movie..

) U-571 is WWII story based on true events. Not only are the actors proving their acting abilities but after looking at the special features included with the DVD, it's very interesting to know they would go to the extreme to learn about the actual submarine, the equipment and to use the correct terminology. They had to learn the ranking structure within the military as well. I had the DVD on a regular DVD but wanted it on Blu-ray to get the full HD experience..Excellent movie from a historical perspective..
Great Movie

) I think this is one of the best WWII movies. I'm not sure how historically accurate it may be, but it sure is entertaining.
