Excellent film that is hard to dislike

Rating: Null/10 (21 June 2003)

This movie did not catch my eye at first, but after the first 15 minutes of watching, I realized that this film was different and unique and very easy to watch. Of course, Speilberg's direction and pacing was great, and even though it was a long film, it never got boring, and it never dragged. The acting was superb, Tom Hanks is always Phenomenal. Christopher Walken is one of my favorite actors, and shows why in this film. He is Hollywood's most underrated, and Leo was his usual self, never steals the show but has enough to bring character's to life. I think this is one of the best films of the year and should not be missed. The only thing I had a problem with was the dialogue, It wasn't bad but could of been more interesting, I kind of felt the screenplay was rushed, and not as true as the real story actually is. Overall a great film, i rate it ***1/2 stars out of 4
