Saving Private Ryan - Review

Rating: 9/10 (10 August 2007)

Lieutenant Colonel Anderson puts Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) on a search and rescue assignment to find Private Ryan and send him home to his mom.
Along the way they stumble into Captain Hamill and Sergeant Hill. They take out a sniper, suffer losses when they battle some Germans, and they bond together in a church and along the way find out about Captain Miller's home life.
Steven Spielberg directs this epic masterpiece and his amazing sidekick Michael Kaun edits. The story by Robert Rodat is realistic and an accurate representation of D-Day. The story is told in a flashback process of Private Ryan remembering back to when Captain Miller saved his life.
The excellent casting, the special, visual effects are stunning, the acting at the top of it's game, the gripping story, and the realism of it all makes this one worthwhile of many, many viewings. It is one of the best movie of the 90's and it's possibly Hank's best performance of his career.
To not watch this and enjoy would be a tragedy and I'd have to question that person as to why they didn't enjoy it. It's simply too great to not entertain you. Recommended.
