a good film

Rating: 7/10 (4 December 2012)

This is a perfect film, for those who want to watch a war/action film that shows the reality of war during world war 2. An easy to follow, but still interesting plot leads no viewers confused or bored throughout. The director was able to capture the violence and brutality of the film in the first 15 min of the film, and is able to continue those themes. Tom Hanks' performance adds the the realism of the characters, making them seem more like real people rather than Hollywood action heroes, but adding in an theme of unity/band between the squad. Overall it is a film great for understanding the horrors of war, and for its action. However the plot does seem quite linear and is not very complex.
