My Favorite War Movie

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2007)

In my opinion saving private Ryan is the most entertaining and realistic war movie you can find to have been released. It takes place during ww2 and starts out with the invasion of Normandy known as d-day shown as excruciatingly violent. Right after this 8 men receive a mission to find a private Ryan because his other three brothers have already died in the war. The men begin to wonder why the 8 of them are risking their lives to save just another soldier. Tom Hank gives a very good performance as the leader of the team who keeps the group together when things start to go wrong. Tom Sizemore is the second man in command, Ed Burns is the soldier who doesn't like the mission more than anyone of them, Adam Goldberg, Barry Pepper and Jeremy Davies are three other soldiers in the group. Vin Diesel and Giovonni Ribisi are the two men who die before they find Private Ryan played by Matt Damon. The movie is 2 and 3/4 hours long but move along fast and ends before you know it. If you have not seen this movie then you are missing out on something special.
