Raw, yet beautiful, film-making.

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 1998)

Saving Private Ryan is Steven Spielberg's finest work and can be compared to nothing that Hollywood has ever produced. It is raw, unforgiving, violent, and saddening. But, at the same time, it is triumphant, inspiring, and hopeful. The audience finally has the opportunity to see war as it is...Hell. Saving Private Ryan is (and forever shall be) a timeless war movie to symolize ALL wars. Nothing more can be said in words when the movie so vividly speaks - even screams - in a film that challenges Schindler's List as one of the greatest visual stories of all time.
