A 'Must See' Film

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2006)

A 'must see' Being tired after a long week of school and harsh soccer practice in the freezing cold , I was in no mood that night to rent a 'chick-flick' with my friends. It was not until we had skimmed the New Release section of Blockbuster that I decided it was useless to look for a good movie when I knew Saving Private Ryan was somewhere in the 'Action' section. One of my friends and I are hard core action and war movie lovers, thus, Steven Spielberg's film was on my mind. After picking up The Sentinel, which I'd seen before and mildly enjoyed, the two of us scanned the action section, almost all of them we'd already seen. It was the intriguing DVD cover that caught my eye and after reading the back we rented it hoping not to have wasted money on a disappointment.
Luckily the movie was FAR from inadequate and moved up my 'favorites' list quickly. It was astonishing, and believe it or not, we watched it numerous times that weekend, to the point where we could mimic most of the parts. Call me obsessive if you want, but rarely watch TV or find a good movie like this one, which I think was made with under a million dollar budget. I recommend that you watch this, it is remarkable.
I am upset though; that I didn't get to see it in theaters, I'm not sure it even came out here. Also, if any one could tell me where to get the DVD (besides online) that would be great. I have searched and searched for it, but neither my friend nor I can find it. I hope everyone else was as captivated as I was by this film, or will be in the future. For now I will maintain the search for the DVD and hope in finding it soon.
