a5c7b9f00b In the battle front of espionage and code cracking of World War II, there remains but one task on the Allied agenda: the capture of a German "Enigma" machine which will allow the Allied naval forces to locate and track submerged German U-Boat submarines. When one such German vessel breaks down after a battle with British forces, a secret mission is dispatched to take over the U-Boat by commando American forces and retrieve an Enigma machine intact. The raid goes well, at first, yet following the destruction of the American mothership and the arrival of reenforcement German ships, the Americans trapped on the U-Boat must use their training and wits to pilot U-571 in order to save their lives.
During World War II, the Allies were having trouble against the German Navy especially their U-Boats because of their highly sophisticated cipher machines. When a German U-Boat is damaged and is waiting for assistance, the Americans decide that this is an opportunity for them to get the machine. So they have one of their subs made up to look like a German, and plan to pretend to be the ship sent to assist them and take control of the U-Boat and take the machine and destroy the sub so that the Germans will not know that they have the machine. And everything went according to plan; they got the machine and transferred the crew to their sub and were about to leave when out of nowhere they're hit by a torpedo from the German relief sub. The members of the crew who were not on board the sub, proceed to board the German U-Boat and try to make it back. Now the senior officer is the sub's XO who's eager to be in command but his commander had told him earlier that he felt he was not ready because he might not be ready to make tough decisions. And now he has to, if he and the survivors are to survive.

In the spring of 1942, the U-boats are taking a toll on Allies shipping. The Allies need to capture an Enigma machine and code books without the Germans knowing it's gone. Lt. Tyler (Matthew McConaughey) thinks he deserves his own command. However there's a special mission for him to use an old U-boat to posethe resupply boat to capture a disabled German U-boat and steal their intel before they can destroy it. Lt. Cmdr. Dahlgren (Bill Paxton)is the skipper. Lt. Hirsch (Jake Weber) is a German speaker with the special mission. Maj. Coonan (David Keith) is naval intelligence. Just when they succeed in capturing a disabled U-boat, their boat is attacked and sunk leaving them a crippled boat in enemy waters but they can't contact home or else the Germans will know that their codes are compromised. Harvey Keitel, Jon Bon Jovi, Erik Palladino and Will Estes play some of the crew.<br/><br/>The action gets pretty good. It's big with lots of water and explosions. However it never gets beyond a Hollywood version of a submarine movie. It has its good points. The acting is alright but McConaughey is a little overwhelmed. There is a little too much big acting going on. Everything is done at the highest level of drama. It's very bombastic and doesn't spend a lot of time taking a breather. It's like a heavy meal of junk food that is soon forgotten.
It's a simple pleasure watching an American movie that respects genre, knows its limitations, and genuflects at the memory of Don Siegel in the age of Spielberg.
No. It was never intended to be a documentary. It's an action/suspense film based on submarine warfare during WWII. Inspired by actual events,the majority of WWII movies are. The actual U-571 was never captured by either the British or the Americans - she was sunk off the Irish coast by a torpedo launched from a Shorts Sunderland Flying boat from No. 461 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force.<br/><br/>(It should be noted that U-570 was captured by the British on her first patrol and saw serviceHMS Graph from 1942 until 1944, when she was withdrawn from service due to maintenance issues).<br/><br/>The Enigma machine was actually first captured by the British, a fact the filmmakers acknowledged in the end credits of this movie. Out of the thousands of hours logged by U-boats, there is only one recorded incident in which a German captain gave the order to fire on torpedoed survivors. U-boat crews were more humanitarian and often provided aid to their victims before submerging. They very rarely brought survivors with themspace on a boat was extremely cramped for its own crew; often times the U-boats just simply left them to die,seen in Das Boot. So the shooting of survivors in this film could be seen moremercy killings rather than leaving them to die.<br/><br/>In terms of the film, it's likely that because U-571 was so badly crippled, short on crew members and supplies, with sensitive information aboard, it was too risky to leave the British survivors to possibly report their position. Not to mention,we see with Taylor and his crew keeping Wassner alive; sabotage is a possibilitywell.
