Better than Saving Private Ryan

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 1999)

I'm amazed at how little mention this film gets. I'm amazed that Spielberg himself puts this film down. This film is very clear; its themes are reachable. It has images in it as captivating as any Spielberg has done. Anthony Hopkins is amazing, and his speech at the end will send shivers down your spine. There is the beautiful scene of Hounsou and McConaughey character's communicating perfectly in languages the other doesn't know. It's about the essence of justice, injustice, passion, differences, samenesses, ignorance, greed...One of my favorite movies.
