Hanks and Spielberg - Wonderful Combination

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 1999)

Put together the greatest actor of his generation - Tom Hanks and the greatest director of his era - Steven Spielberg and you will get a great movie. This is probably the greatest war movie ever made. The opening sequence of the Omaha Beach landing sets the tone for the entire film. Hanks brings great brevity to his role, it seems custom made for him. Great cinematography and a wonderful support cast make for a very absorbing movie.
