My basic opinion

Rating: 6/10 (20 November 2000)

This movie was realistic, but that's about all it had going for it. Basic plot, basic characters. Quentin Tarintino on his worst day could produce a more compelling cast of characters to feel for. I can name off the top of my head a lot of better war movies than Private Ryan. Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Apocalypse now, etc....
