One of my favorite films about sailors is submariners

- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2025A few German subs were captured during WW 2. If the Germans had as many as the allied thought the might have lasted longer. The German built a few new types of submarines, just not enough.

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2024Excelente pelicula, la trama, el momento historico y la musica son excelentes, verdaderamente los estadounidenses saben hacer peliculas
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2000Some things in this film are not credible, for example:
- How skillfully the American crew, few in number, manages so quickly to run that crippled, alien German submarine so well after they capture it;
- How doggedly (miraculously?) that poor sub survives the depth charging it endured crippling it before the Americans arrive, and the even more murderous ones by the German destroyer afterward;
- How could such a battered boat survive a dive well beyond the maximum depth on its depth gauge? (Best line in the film is from the Chief Petty Officer played by Keitel: "Those Krauts sure know how to build a boat.")
- Watertight doors seem never to be closed. That's the first thing you do when you go to battle stations on a warship.
Nonetheless, a good, fairly gripping effort. The sounds of the depth chargings are awesome on a good subwoofer system such as mine. I have never been depth charged for real, though have read numerous descriptions in submarine literature and seen movies such as Das Boot. Take away the occasionally intrusive music and this sound track must be close to what I imagine was the real thing. Depth charging has been described as a huge awesome hammer. That effect comes through - not only huge loud deafening metallic hammer blows but the deep boom of the explosions and the click of the trigger just before the charges go off. Hats off to the people on all sides who endured that for real.
One last note: it would have been better, and more diplomatic, for the note acknowledging that the British were first in capturing an enigma machine to have come at the beginning of the film rather than the end. Also, a notation at the beginning that the film was a fictional dramatization of actual events would have been appropriate and more respectful to British and Americans alike.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2000This is a movie you are compelled to watch. It pulls you in with its non-stop action and pulls you out of the ordinariness of today's world. It is excellent storytelling, and it has 'dynamite' special effects, more cold salt water than any other movie, good 'representative' characters for the morality tale it is, and a thoughtful query of 'what' is leadership for the main character. The director pays homage to the British by using the race for subsequent capture of a later enigma machine as the catalyst of events in this story. (If you read the credits, the list of those various, predominantly British, crews who made enigma captures are given tribute. Note that in truth this honored company includes 1 American group.) (Credit is also given to the British admiral involved with the original enigma capture who was a technical advisor for the movie.)This is a story that grabs you. It reminds you 'how awful is war' (and how unrelenting to be caught up in one), and that in impossible situations the good in individuals is distilled and revealed. The more obvious struggle of Matthew McC's character [is it better to be everybody's best pal and personal advocate or to be able to make some tough, touchy decisions that could cause disaster for some if not all?] Eric Palladino's ("Doctor Dave" from ER) character is used to great effect in pushing the buttons that spotlight this. Jack Noseworthy illuminates his small, pivotal role. Jon Bon Jovi makes you want to see more of what he can do. Dave Power's tangible despair over being 'too big' for what he MUST get done raps you right in the heart. And the German captain-- did he not exemplify the determination to protect and preserve what was important to HIS country?If you missed any of this by being too caught up in the nonstop action, BUY THIS DVD AND WATCH IT AGAIN. These boys did a superb job of giving honor to the sailors of that 'Greatest Generation', for whom combat was still one on one.The dvd has some terrific additional features that you will be glad to have. More than that, buy this for the totally engrossing, heartstopping rollercoaster of a good 'old fashioned' war story.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2016I have to say that it is quite refreshing to watch a submarine & U-Boat movie written and directed by someone that has a passionate interest in the subject. Leaving out the story for the moment, just the attention to detail of the uniforms, ships, the way the characters act and the props are excellent and you won't find many technical errors.
As for the story? Bravo!! It is pure genius to take the premise of a factual story that did happen in history but change it around to make it completely new and interesting for the audience. Even if you know the factual story this movie is loosely based on you will not be disappointed. There are so many surprise twists and turns to keep you til the very end. The characters themselves are also not "cardboard cutouts". Each character is introduced in such a way that you learn their backstory as you get to know them so it doesn't seem forced. And even though I tried, I couldn't compare any of these characters to ones I knew in history or in other U-Boat movies.
Writing character development in such a way is so nice when it is done right, as it is done in this movie. You then get to follow those characters through their development and maturing process which makes you care about them even more. Nothing makes a movie better than when you forget the people on screen are actors and actually care about what is going to happen to their characters.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2024Kept you focused!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024War is a mess. No, it's much worse. It's also unfortunately part of human history. U-571 seems to focus more on humanity than on the mess. Well done it is. Watch it again, thoughtfully, I will.

Wayne RobinsonReviewed in Canada on July 5, 20205.0 out of 5 stars U-571 A Movie That Cries Out For A 4K Upgrade
U-571 is an intense story about a U.S. Navy captain and his crew who are just starting a 48 hour leave when they are called back into duty for a top-secret assignment, to disguise themselves as Nazis and take over a severely damaged Nazi U-boat. Once on board they are to steal the Nazi’s top-secret decoding device (an Enigma) and sink the sub before the German’s catch on to what’s is happening. But of course their mission does not go as they planned. The movie celebrates it’s 20th Anniversary this year and it still looks great and the audio is a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and it is definitely Home Theatre worthy. I cannot help to think that the 20th Anniversary of this film is a really good reason for a 4K upgrade. It would not take much work a little bit of tweaking of the video and if we could get either get a Dolby Atmos or a DTS:X soundtrack that would be awesome. So in the meantime I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. I would highly recommend this film for anyone who owns a Home Theatre.
