Film Review by Dan Morrison

Rating: Null/10 (17 March 2009)

The film was generally very impressive. I liked the accuracy of the weapons, vehicles, and uniforms. The sets were very impressive, and looked just like France did in 1944, even though things were all blown up and so on. The most impressive part to me was not the main actors like Tom Hanks, but the extra's, the random actors who played random soldiers, whether they be dying on the beaches or fighting in the battlefield, or even just laying on the ground, dead. I was impressed by the actors abilities to portray the soldiers "FUBAR" attitudes, and then, if needed, portray a death with great realism. The amazing scenes to me are the scenes with any speech, just pictures, like the images of the blood running down the beach, or the dead bodies laying in the bunkers and beachhead, or the scenes of the towns, blown apart and in ruins.
