As I understand it, "U-571" is less than totally accurate, as it was actually the English who captured the Nazi submarine and figured out the code. But ignoring that, the movie is still quite fun, as the American crew sees their duty and won't let anything stand in their way. I will say that the portrayal of the Germans could have been better ("Das Boot" showed how they weren't really Nazis, some were just drafted; this one makes them all look like Nazis).

But anyway, the whole thing is pretty fun to watch, without any sappy love scenes to drag it down. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel and David Keith.
