Really Overrated

Rating: 2/10 (25 February 2014)

I guess you must have to be an American to really get and love this movie because it's about American soldiers acting typically super-heroic and everything.
The entire movie is based on a platoon of guys who get sent into the deep and dangerous territory behind enemy lines to save the Private Ryan of the title of the film.
Apparently all his brothers have all been killed in the war so the government doesn't want their mother to lose her last son because it would be a huge public relations catastrophe so they send in a group of guys and risk a bunch of lives just to try to get this one specific soldier out.
I liked some of the combat scenes but mostly I was just bored and thought they were too obviously and deliberately trying to pull at heart strings and wave the U.S. flag around.
