Sorry to bring back an old post but I finaly saw U 571 (Free on TV ).
What a joke, I have to say it was a good laugh. The fighter looked like a 109 to me.
My Dad (23 years in the Navy) and I had a great time picking all the faults. I thought at the time Black men weren't allowed to use firearms?
And ships dont explode like the moive shows.

Just out of interest when is the movie set? Anyone know?

The worst thing was that it was actully a British Destoryer crew that got the Naval Enigma (spelling) code books (and machine?)

The action was cool though...
I would give it 3 out of 10.
