We sat entranced at the action

Rating: 7/10 (26 September 2000)

Fairly realistic war scenes, but sometimes a bit Hollywood. We agonized over decision to rescue one boy at the expense of others and can understand both sides of argument - still haven't made up our mind. Very graphic war scenes showed the horror of war and maybe new generations will be slower to get involved - but I doubt it. Tom Hanks was masterful.
