	U-571 is simply more Hollywood rubbish. It isn't even worth viewing from a special effects standpoint. This film stands among the likes of Saving Private Ryan, because of it's horribly inaccurate depiction of history along with it's sadly simple portrayal of good and bad. This is definitely not, by any means a thought provoking film. Rather you can just sit back, listen to the various explosions, admire Matthew McConaughey in his dashing (if that is your fancy) role, all the while waving that mini American flag for the envitable American movie formula: America saves the world again + against the uniformly bad villians (Germans) = American further spreads it's propagandist and false construction of freedom and goodwill. Sure! Terribly predictable, this film is better enjoyed by it's two minute preview. Two movie comments: First, all war buffs will REALLY enjoy the fact that from one measily torpedo a destroyer fireballs like the space shuttle Challenger. Secondy, notice when Wentz the only member of the US sub of German heritage, is interviewed to verify if he speaks German. This is one of film's most funny moment because of it's writer's and director's insulting of lack talent in terms of achieving it's plot point in a subtle manner. Once Wentz, a shy and timid sailor, is asked (in German if he speaks the language) he facial expression instantly changes and he becomes this evil character only for the duration of his German conversation, then he reverts to his shy and timid self... funny. The problem with this film is that a large majority of the population will interpret films such as these as accurate and literal translations of history, hence promulgating the continued ignorance and naivete that flows from our southern neighbours. If you want to see a real World War 2 sub film, see Wolfgang Petersen's Das Boot. (2/10)
