Exceptional!

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2009)

Absolutely a top notch movie. I personally think it is a top 20 film of all time. The acting was exceptional, the special effects where exceptional and the plot was not bad at all. Very realistic! I liked how Tom Hanks portrayed a common man ( before the war) and came to be a very uncommon man during combat. If we look back at the Greatest Generation valor was common to many American sailors, airman, marines and soldiers. The intensity of combat ...or better yet the intensity and urgency of the mission to bring the last son out of France (Combat) kept a tension built up. All around classic and rare film. This film "hit on all cylinders".
