I like U-571 too, I only wish it was accurate. Seems like a story could have been told that was closer to the truth and just as entertaining. I also was annoyed at the token black guy thing going on in U-571, at least early on. That struck me as silly Hollywood PC stuff.
Everything about the film was silly Hollywood. Really would have thought they'd have gotten over adolescent WWII stories by now seeing as its so long since the event but apparently not.
