DVD Reviews of U-571 (Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: I Just Want the Movie in HD, Not all the Extras I Can't Turn Off
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm really frustrated with this thing. How do I get that "Bonus Disk" icon off the upper left of the screen??? I don't want alternate views. I don't want commentaries. I don't want WW2 vintage films in a little box. I just want to eat my popcorn and watch my movie. If I wanted little extras on the screen, I'd watch TBS or Sci-Fi channel.
DVD Review: Better Than Most Of Whats Out There
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're looking for historically accurate, go with Das Boot. If you prefer something faster paced, pick up U-571. They're both movies about submarines in WW2, but they're very, very different films. U-571 is better than most of the crapola cranked out by Hollywood, that's for sure.DVD Review: Great war movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great war movie. Good action and a good plot. Very enjoyable!DVD Review: Great Plot
Summary: 5 Stars
The Americans capture a German submarine and the code book and message encoder. The American's manage to destroy the destroyer's radio and escape.
Captain Tyler order the sub down 160 meters, release debris, distract the German destroyer, surface, one clear shot with one torpedo.
The directive is sink the German destroyer or make sure none survive too be captured and tortured.
The charges nearly destroy the sub but the submarine goes to 200 meters. The submarine is old but it holds up against the pressure, until the pressure forces a emergency surface.
The submarine is to come up. The destroyer completely stops observing the debris. Morris code is being sounded by the captive German captain.
Surface, all ahead full. A soldier sacrifices his life to activate the torpedo. One torpedo, one destroyed German destroyer, blown in half.
"I can keep her afloat much longer" "Let's abandon ship."

DVD Review: U571
Summary: 5 Stars
Great sound and picture quality although its a classic. It's a must have bluray. One of the best action and thrilling movies.
Description of U-571 (Collector's Edition)
U-571 is an action-packed white-knuckle story about an American submarine crew s battle against time - and their own fears - while carrying out a daring mission to capture a top secret encrypting device from a Nazi U-boat.System Requirements:Starring: Bill Paxton Matthew McConaughey Harvey Keitel Jack Noseworthy Jon Bon Jovi and Matthew Settle. Directed By: Jonathan Mostow. Running Time: 117 Min. Color. This film is presented in "Widescreen" format. Copyright 2000 Universal Distribution Corp.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?PG-13 UPC:?025192078521 Manufacturer No:?20785Taut and gripping, U-571 follows the exploits of a fictional team of World War II U.S. submariners who undertake a secret mission to capture a German Enigma machine to decode German documents. Writer-director Jonathan Mostow (Breakdown) tells an intense, economical tale, reminiscent of the best classic war films, while infusing it with modern sentiments.
Spring 1942: A crew of young submarine sailors are on a much-needed 48-hour liberty when they're suddenly called together and engaged in an expedition. At the helm are Lieutenant Commander Mike Dahlgren (Bill Paxton), Lieutenant Andrew Tyler (Matthew McConaughey), and Chief Klough (Harvey Keitel). Other pivotal crew members include Tyler's Annapolis pal Lieutenant Pete Emmett (Jon Bon Jovi, proving his acting mettle) and Lieutenant Hirsch (Jake Weber), who, along with Marine Major Coonan (David Keith), organizes the mission. As much of the movie takes place in a submarine during WWII, there are inevitable comparisons with the technical masterpiece Das Boot, but Mostow's masterfully shot tale can hold its own.
McConaughey's Tyler is believably earnest as he comes to grips with the reality, tragedy, and consequence of being in command. While this explosion-filled film consistently maintains its tense pace (as did the underrated Breakdown), it also presents with surprising restraint a genuine human story--and the remarkable journey of an unexpected hero. --N.F.
