Top Critics Reviews

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

fresh:
The movie concocts just enough genuinely surprising moments to make its own satisfying niche amongst the other examples of the genre.

rotten:
You can enjoy U-571 as a big, dumb war movie without a brain in its head. But that doesn't stop it from looking cheesy.

fresh:
If watching a two-hour submarine movie is this nerve-shattering, imagine what the real thing must have been like.

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