Heart-pounding intensity.

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 1999)

Steven Spielberg triumphs again. This was an amazing movie. The intensity of this movie is amazing, with cinematography so realistic you feel like you are really there. There are some scenes which are disgusting, but show the horror of war like no other movie has, this was the best war movie I have ever seen.

Tom Hanks is marvelous as is Tom Sizemore. They make a great team and give the movie even more intensity because of the friendship of the two, and both of them in a war together shows the bond that grows in war, and you feel their pain as well as the soldiers that die in the movie.
It is moving the way this picture is put together and shows that war is more of a surreal nightmare than it is a glorious way to show your patriotism. I think this movie definitely deserved the Best Picture award and is worth going to see, don't miss it. It is an excellent movie.
