Another Great War Movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 March 2019)

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN is a nearly perfect war film about a group of soldiers trying to find another soldier who has orders to return home. The story and the action are totally realistic and believable.
The only drawback is the phony sentimentality that seems to be present in every Spielberg film, so this is no exception. But here it is particularly well-hidden among all the action and chaos and great acting. And even despite that one drawback, everything else about the film more than makes up for it. Highly recommend.
