Gripping World War 2 movie.

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2015)

Saving Private Ryan is a heart pounding drama that shows World War 2 very realistically. The battle scenes, while horrific, are done to perfection. It shows us the horrors of war from the POV of our main character Captain John H Miller (Tom Hanks) and the platoon he commands. Captain Miller's platoon has landed on Normandy beach, and has now been assigned to a rescue mission. To locate and save Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon) a US paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action. As the group goes through France to find one man, they ask themselves why one man should be as important as the eight looking for him. As I've already stated the battle scenes are amazing. The acting also is top notch. It's really an incredible movie. The last 27 minutes is just gripping. It's impossible to ignore.
