Probably the best war film made so far

Rating: Null/10 (31 December 2002)

From the stunning Omaha landing sequence to the final battle this film is amazing.
The first sequence, the DDay landings focusing on Omaha are truly shocking yet I think in a good way.
The reality and truth here is a giant step to destroying the ridiculous stereotype of an old man boring his grandchildren with 'when I was in the war........'
All actors were perfectly cast and worked incredibly well on screen.

This film, thankfully, has none of the rubbish frequently added to modern war films. Unlike the abominable Pearl Harbor and other such films, this movie doesn't add romances, sex, or drugged up hallucinations and flashbacks.
This is a no frills movie that tells is like it was, which is a good thing. Not just because it doesn't want to, it doesn't need to. This film already has pure emotion and drama with it's basic theme, anything added to it would only dilute it.
It has so many standout moments, too many to mention here, that had me in tears and images of which stayed with me for days.
I'd like to see anyone top this excellent war film, it'll be hard to beat.
