At last Hollywood has it right.

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2002)

From movies like U-571 and Saving Private Ryan it is clear that some people in Hollywood are intent on making America look like the savior of the world. Their position is powerful and their actions well intentioned but almost never did they reach this "World Savior" point, especially in events U-571 and Saving Private Ryan were based on. This is why i think Ridley Scott has produced such well rounded film. Even with the help from usual gung-ho producer Jerry Bruckheimer this film depicts both events for and against the USA. It really shows what everyone with even a vague knowledge of world events knows, America made some mistakes, ones with dire consequences.
The style and feeling of the film comes as close to real battle as any normal person could imagine. The characterisation is rounded and believable and action sequences (nearly the whole film) are well setup.
Truly convincing
