Back To Index U-571
 Barnes & Noble A pleasantly old-fashioned and rousing World War II yarn, U-571 pays tribute to the unsung heroes of Americas "silent service": the intrepid submariners whose underwater exploits helped guarantee victory for the Allies. Inspired by actual events, this suspenseful tale documents the efforts of a U.S. sub crew to capture a Nazi U-boat and seize its precious cargo, a transmitter that sends messages in a heretofore unbreakable code. Top billing goes to Matthew McConaughey, playing a young but battle-hardened officer who assumes command of the mission. Hes supported by an eclectic cast that includes veterans Harvey Keitel, Bill Paxton, and David Keith, as well as lesser-known but talented performers Jake Weber and Jack Noseworthy. Rocker Jon Bon Jovi also puts in a surprisingly impressive big-screen turn. Director Jonathan Mostow keeps his submarine sets dimly lit and his camera in close whenever possible, creating a murky, claustrophobic environment that even jaded viewers will find unsettling. Unabashedly patriotic but never blindly jingoistic, U-571 makes stirring entertainment and also honors the sacrifices of the gallant men it so effectively depicts.
