Synopsis

U-571 is a white-knuckle World War II suspense drama about an American submarine crew's battle against time and their fears while carrying out a daring mission to capture a top-secret encrypting device from a Nazi U-boat.

See movie reviews below.

About the DVD: There's a "spotlight on location" with "I want it to be an authentic experience" Mostow, who also does commentary. The featurette "Creating and Constructing U-571" goes briefly inside the meticulous production of the full-sized submarine built for the film. In addition, there's World War II trivia to go along with the modern amenities, such as a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS sound.

Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel, Jon Bon Jovi, Jake Weber

U-571, writer-director Jonathan Mostow's new thriller, reminds me of a "Greatest Hits" album. All our favorite submarine moments are here: "Torpedo Duel," "Be Very, Very Quiet" and "How Deep Can We Go?" Luckily for the audience, Mostow adds a few new notes to U-571's mix, such as "Mystery Morse ...
