U-571
Directed by Jonathan Mostow
1942, de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Grote hoeveelheden munitie en talloze mensenlevens gaan verloren omdat de geallieerden er maar niet in slagen om de Duitse boodschappen te ontcijferen. Omdat dit op termijn wel eens de overwinning van de Duitsers zou kunnen betekenen, wordt een grootscheepse infiltratie-operatie opgezet.
Where to Watch U-571
U-571 Ratings & Reviews
- Kent Lysell5 augustus 2025Guns of Navorone meets Hunt for Red October. Well worth the time spent watching it with a glass of scotch, neat.
- Bruce Geist19 januari 2026Well done, exciting movie!
- viktorsmi29 november 2025One of the more underappreciated movies of its time. The biggest crime this movie commits is using real vessel names for a completely fictional story. However, this is not a documentary, it is a work of fiction based on multiple war stories. It is in fact an action movie set in a submarine. Practical effects are much appreciated, albeit they may have affected the "historical accuracy" some people look for. However, if you accept this movie is a work of fiction, then it's just a fun ride all around. Solid acting by McConaughey, Keitel and Paxton, with everyone else doing great job. I'm not sure why Bon Jovi got one of the top billings when he's barely in the movie.
- flavo4328 december 2025U‑571 has all the ingredients of a strong wartime thriller: an impressive cast of rising talent supported by seasoned actors, excellent special effects, and a narrative that moves with confidence. On a purely cinematic level, it’s tense, polished, and engaging. However, as a veteran and a fan of military history, it’s hard to overlook the film’s biggest flaw—its complete disregard for the real events surrounding the capture of the Enigma machine. Instead of honouring the genuine heroism of those who actually carried out the mission, the film invents an American‑led operation, rewriting history for dramatic effect. That creative liberty doesn’t just stretch the truth; it undermines the real sacrifices made by others. While the movie works as entertainment, its historical inaccuracy is too significant to ignore. For that reason, I can’t in good conscience rate it highly, despite its technical strengths.
- Ade Stickley24 augustus 2025Such a great movie!
- Peter Polivka29 oktober 2025Solid plot and quality holds up, maybe minus the 2 seconds of CGI with the destroyer.
