Movie Reviews of U-571 (Collector's Edition)

Movie 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.

Summary of U-571 (Collector's Edition)

Directed By: Jonathan Mostow. Running Time: 117 Min. Color. This film is presented in "Widescreen" format.

Taut 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.
