Review of U-571 (2000) by Grant S — 10 Apr 2008
The fact that the list of stars of this movie includes Bill Paxton and Jon Bon Jovi should be an indication that it is craptacular, and it is, very. Historically inaccurate with a plot filled with holes and contrived events. Acting and direction are woeful. About the only good thing about it is the special effects.
So bad and gratuitiously explosion-filled it could have been directed by Michael Bay.
If you want to watch a good WW2 submarine movie, watch Das Boot instead.
