Classic war film

Rating: 7/10 (2 March 1999)

"Saving Private Ryan" is a deeply and affecting movie. The first 24 minutes at Normandy is riveting. Spielberg carries you right up the beach with the others. It is hard to overt your eyes. I think that this was the first movie I've gone to where it was completely silent throughout the whole film, and after as the audience was in awe. The movie is deeply moving and affecting. Hanks, Sizemore, Burns, Davies, Damon, Ribisi, Goldberg, et al were stupendous in this movie.
