Review of U-571

U-571 (2000)
8/10
It's a great action war movie. People are downvoting it for political reasons.

This is a great movie. It's tense, action-packed, and highly entertaining. That's what I want out of this kind of movie. It's not meant to be a documentary. It's not a dramatization of a *particular* mission or incident. The historical context may be true but the story itself is a work of FICTION, just like the central plot of Saving Private Ryan is fiction.

And yet lots of people have given ridiculously low scores because "that's not how it happened" or they object that it "gives credit to Americans for British accomplishments", even though the text at the end of the film clearly credits both British and American captures of U-boats & enigma machines. At least they're honest about why they're unfairly downvoting it.
