Not only action-packed war movie, it has a very nice personal story.

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 1999)

The whole movie is the quest for one particular soldier, and the mission to bring him home safely. The invasion at Normandy begins the movie. The opening is very hard to watch, not only because of the very graphic violence and mutilation of war, but also the memory of all those who gave up their lives. Once you get past that scene-setting episode, the rest of the movie is much more pleasant to watch. Tom Hanks, as always, if fine in his role, as are all the supporting roles. But, who was the last person to see a poorly-done Spielberg film? You owe it to yourself to see Private Ryan, if for no other reason but to remember the ugliness of war.
