Kick @$$ Movie

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2002)

(POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD)
I cannot begin to say how much I loved this movie. Probably the most engrossing plot line of any war movie. I liked the story, especially at the end because the end really makes the film what it is, which is amazing. The entire point of the movie is summed up in one line: "Tell me I've lived a good life." Ryan wants to have lived a good life because almost a whole squad died to bring him home. This is the genius of the movie, because the mission is so deadly, just for saving one man.
The end battle is brutally violent. One guy gets stabbed slowly through the heart, a couple are blown up, and just about everyone else gets shot. The few that are left at the end are in hysteria. This movie does an excellent job of proving just how insane war can be, because they sacrificed so many people just to save one.
