Saving Prive Ryan One Of The Best War Movies Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2009)

Saving Private Ryan is one of the best war movies ever made period. From the intense harrowing opening battle sequence to it's explosive yet touching climax, Saving Private Ryan grabs hold of you and never lets go. Acclaimed director Steven Spielberg brings this movie to the big screen and he continues to prove that he's one of the best filmmakers in Hollywood today. With a great cast including Tom Hanks, Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Matt Damon, Barry Pepper, and Vin Disiel a relatively unknown at the time (in a small role) all turn in terrific performances. For those of you who haven't seen it yet I won't say anything else about the film. It's one of those movies you should see without knowing too much about it because that only enhances the experience. The battle sequences are jaw dropping, hard to watch at times, and realistic giving audiences a look at what these courageous men went through back then. The running time of 170 minutes did make the movie feel a little slow at times but thats a minor flaw and the good more than outweighs the bad. If you're a fan of Spielberg, the cast, or war movies than you'll love Saving Private Ryan. It's one of those films that can be missed.
