See? Spielberg can make a good movie!

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 1998)

Steven uses a light artistic brush when applying the overwrought music, the special effects and his inimitably scmaltzy style and it works. Probably one of the best movies of the decade by one of the last directors I ever thought I'd expect it from. Most successful sure, but a film of style, insight and gracious humanity? Plus, this is an area of the war that few people have tackled. I'm amazed. This is a film that deserves to be watched again and again. The acting is superb, the characters are superb, and the cinematography is awesome. The fact that two of the most talented actors working today (John Malkovich and Joe Pantalioni) are in this is just icing on an already perfectly baked cake.
