spielberg's masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2011)

Spielberg is well-known for his big films. Saving Private Ryan is his best of the bunch by a clear mile. It is a statement in the genre of war movies. An absolute top. I'm an huge fan of war movies and this one is in my top 3 for sure. I like that there's a great piece of an human side in this movie. It's quite touching. It makes it powerful.
Tom Hanks was one the best actors of the 90's. He capped the decade off with one the strongest performances of his career. He shows here why he is Spielberg's favorite actor. He has lots of talent around him. Most notably Edward Burns and Barry Pepper, a must-be guy in war movies. But others like Matt Damon, Vin Diesel and Tom Sizemore leave the mark too.
War movies are good when they seem realistic. This one for sure is. A classic and a must-see in war genre. A masterpiece by one the most acknowledged directors of our time. Watch alone or with friends, does not matter, you get the point.
