[Both] a rousing action thriller...[and] near-parody of the rah-rah American military adventures that filled screens in the '40s and '50s. [Blu-Ray]

It's a wham-bam bumpy ride, great fun in the old-fashioned war movie tradition.

Plays like a third-rate disaster movie -- and an assaultively noisy one at that .

Delivers action scenes that are both visually dynamic and highly suspenseful.

A very tense and exciting war movie.

The film needs something more to make it interesting and different.

U-571 is bombastic and anonymous.

I've never seen a movie as dependent on a fancy sound system.

An entertaining action-adventure flick minus the hokiness of most World War II films.
