U-571

This is straightforward but gripping adventure material about a U.S. Navy crew posing as German sailors in order to take over a Nazi submarine. The action scenes invigorate submarine thriller cliches, and Matthew McConaughey lends some depth as an executive officer struggling with the responsibilities of military leadership.
