Wins my award for accurately portraying the gritty reality of war

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2002)

This was an excellent, albeit fictional DDay saga which drew you in by the throat from the opening shot. Outstanding realism on the beach. Real war is like this (hell) not like the make believe fairy tales we were fed decades ago that glorified war. If you do not weep during this film you need to loosen up and check your veins for blood. Top notch entertainment from the get-go! Shades of Platoon ;-)
