There's only one u-boat movie...

kk69782

... and it is Das Boot.

The first 30 minutes of the movie is actually quite entertaining. The movie is moving on fast with some action points. Characters are described shallowly. But then IT happens...

***** BEGIN OF A LITTLE SPOILER *****

Once again, yankees are the smart ones and Germans are idiots. It is so predictable what happens after some yankees are captured to German u-boat. Seriously ill yankees gets rid off their handcuffs and beats some Germans. Little unrealistic? At least after hanging 3 days in those...

***** END OF A LITTLE SPOILER *****

I don't know why this film is advertised as "ultra realistic". It is the same bull***t as all Hollywood war movies. Does even yankees themselves appreciate these U-571, U-Boat etc.

score 1/10
