For this assigned blog i choose to watch U-571. Starring Matthew McConaughey as Lieutenant Tyler. Tyler is the man in charge of the sub S-33. His crew gets called in on leave to board their sub disguised as a German U-Boat. Their mission is to intercepted the U-571, a German U-Boat that has been disabled by an American sub. They must reach the U-571 before the resupply U-Boat reaches the U-571. A team from the S-33 lead by Tyler are going to board the U-571 to secure a coding Enigma that the Germans are using to send messages to their subs. While leaving the U-571 the German repair sub comes and blows up the S-33, stranding the team on the S-33. Although they have the coding Enigma they must escape the German U-Boat in the U-571. As the American team is being attacked by the German U-Boat. Tyler retakes control of his men to lead them away from the Germans. After they destroy the German U-Boat they decide to go check the wreckage of the S-33 and search for survivors. Once they finish searching for survivors Tyler decides to head to England to secure the Enigma. While making there way towards England the U-571 is spotted by a German airplane that is doing recon for a German destroyer. The German destroyer sends a launch party over to the U-571 so Tyler decides to shoot out their radio so the Germans can't signal that the Enigma has been compromised. After they hit the tower they dive under the destroyer to avoid the destroyers guns. As they get under the destroyer the Germans start to send down bombs to try to destroy the U-571. Trying to avoid being destroyed by bombs they also have to keep the sub a float cause a German prisoner got loose and sabotaged the mechanics. Then the U-571 takes more damage as one of the depth charges connects with the U-Boat. Tyler decides to drop down to below 200 meters so they can devise a plan to fix the torpedo tube and shoot garbage out the tube to cause a debris field. Once the Germans enter that debris to search the wreckage the U-571 will resurface and make a torpedo shot to hopefully destroy the destroyer. But if Tyler does not succeed he cannot let the crew get captured because they know to much and won't withstand torture. So if thy fail Tyler must make sure no one survives. As they are diving down to 200 meters the U-Boat can't stand the pressure and starts to break apart and flood. As they ascend they need Trigger to go into the torpedo tube and stop an air leak so they can fire the torpedo. Once they ascend they are hit by fire and Trigger gets pinned down, but still reaches the leak. So they send out the torpedo and hit it dead on to blow up the destroyer. Threatening to sink they board an inflatable raft with the Enigma. And are finally saved when an American aircraft spots them.
Overall i thought this movie was a great choice and would recommend it to anyone. I would give it a 10/10.
