U-571 plot
"Heroes are ordinary men who do extraordinary things in extraordinary times."
1942, World War II. Large amounts of ammunition and countless lives are lost because the Americans cannot decipher the messages Hitler sends to his troops. That shortcoming could well mean the victory of the Germans in the long run. To prevent this, a large-scale infiltration operation is being set up. The investigative services intercepted distress signals coming from U-571, a German submarine that is floating somewhere in the North Atlantic due to technical defects with the Enigma, the infamous machine that encodes German messages, on board.

What a terrible movie.
In fact, it is better to tell what is right about this film.
And I'm not even talking about the forgery history.
But a German destroyer in the atlantic ocean?... a single-engine German reconnaissance? where does it come from all of a sudden.

Always nice, such a claustrophobic submarine movie. From the first viewing (15 years ago?) I mainly remembered that this was an operation to loot an Enigma machine, but now that I'm reviewing it it's actually much more about the exciting return afterwards aboard the German U-571 with all the associated problems, and the tension is nicely increased (without the viewer having to seriously doubt the good ending). Not brilliant, but entertaining.
