Overall a good film let down by being a bit obvious

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2003)

This film is certainly one of the best war films knocking around. The opening half hour or so is very powerful and definetly one of Spielberg's finest moments. However it is a bit let down by the usual Spielberg sentimentality.
Overall I enjoyed this film a lot it is basically a very good film but not a great one.
