U-571
(2000)
Roadshow Entertainment
112 minutes
M 15+

Director: Jonathan Mostow.

Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Harvey Keitel, Bill Paxton, John Bon Jovi, David Keith, Matthew Settle.

Format: Widescreen. Single-sided, dual-layer disc. Dolby 5.1 Surround.

Language: English.

Subtitles: English for hearing impaired.

Extras: Director's commentary, trailer, biographies, interviews with cast and crew, mini documentary on the enigma code machine and its capture, making-of doco.

Comments: A good package of extras really adds to this DVD. The making-of doco is detailed, going into the building of the subs, how authentic the designers made the equipment look and even the costuming. The pick, for me, was the historical mini features on the enigma coding machine, its importance and an excellent interview with one of the British sailors who helped capture some of the machines.
