ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
REVIEW:
  • Writer-director Jonathan Mostow follows up his impressive work on the underrated thriller Breakdown (1997) by creating this gripping, pulse-pounding World War II submarine adventure. While the movie's sparse character development is limited to its square-jawed, all-American lead (Matthew McConaughey), and some supporting players (portrayed by Jon Bon Jovi and David Keith virtually disappear from the story), U-571 is a rip-roaring war picture. Mostow's script and direction while sometimes recycled, keep tension appropriately high, the film's performances are surprisingly acceptible, and every aspect of the production -- from model work to costumes -- lends an air of scrupulous authenticity. The blitz-style tapestry of sound created by Johnny Johnson has to be singled out as one of the year's finest examples of that specific art form. Although barely making a profit on its budget and inspiring political enmity in the United Kingdom for its transformation of real-life British heroes into Americans, U-571 is another solid, fast-paced B-picture for Mostow and an artistic success. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi
