U-571 ***½ (2000, Matthew McConaughey, Harvey Keitel, Bill Paxton) – Classic Movie Review 1196
Co-writer/director Jonathan Mostow’s 2000 release is a controversial, but exciting, supposedly real-life World War Two submarine action adventure set in 1942, in which a German submarine is boarded by disguised United States Navy submariners seeking to capture […]
