This is not a historical film or even based on a true story. It simply is WW2 themed action flick. For that, it is very good film. I don't understand why some reviews criticize for historic values. That's like expecting historical accuracy from James Bond series.The movie is well acted, well scripted and well told. Actions are not over the top and although some explosion effects looked fake, it doesn't take away from the story.Matthew McConaughey is sometimes criticized for his acting early in his career but I actually think he did a very good job portraying the young inexperienced captain in this movie.

As far as thrillers go, U-571 is a well made film. Although it's historical inaccuracies are awful, it still serves as a great theater experience. It won a well deserved Oscar for it's sound, which, in the right theater, makes the film well worth the admission. Sound is the key essential to U-571.The characters are simple, the plot is simple, and the film probably won't haunt you long after you've seen it, but that's OK. Just sit back and enjoy the claustrophobic sets, the deafening sound effects, and the non-stop action for what it's worth.

The quite good movie about submariners. The movie has turned out one many better than U-429 of "In Enemy Hands". Here have at least shown fight of people and real fritzes. And so a plot totally ludicrous, diluted with the American partiotizm.
