U-571 rating: (out of 4 stars) France, United States; 2004 Directed by Jonathan Mostow; produced by Dino De Laurentiis, Martha De Laurentiis; screenplay Jonathan Mostow, Sam Montgomery, David Ayer Starring Matthew McConaughey, Harvey Keitel, Bill Paxton, Jon Bon Jovi, David Keith, Thomas Kretschmann Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
Do not watch 'U-571' as a plausible WW-II film. If you try to do that you
must compare it with the great 'Das Boot' and then this film is one of the
worse and most stupid films I have seen. It changes a British
accomplishment, stealing the Enigma code-machine from a German U-boat, into
an American tale of heroes. So let's review this film as your typical action
film; it becomes a lot better. |
