One of the year's very best.

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 1998)

This is a visually effective war film, the best I have ever seen. The actors were top-notch. Finally, Edward Burns will get recognized for the brilliant talent he is. Tom Hanks gave a better performance here than in "Forrest Gump." Usually, I hate watching movies that are three hours long, but watching this film, I wanted it to be longer. A much better film than the OVERLY-HYPED "Titanic." This is Steven Spielberg's very best motion picture. If there was a movie to sweep the Oscars this year, I hope it will be "Saving Private Ryan."
