Tom Hanks is one of the best

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 2003)

Tom Hanks ranks up there with my list of favorite actors not only because of his role in this movie but other movies such as FORREST GUMP, CAST AWAY.
In SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, he plays Captain John H. Miller, who must lead his group of men into the heart of World War II in search of Private James Ryan (Matt Damon). Private Ryan's mother receives 3 telegrams informing her that 3 out of her 4 sons have been killed in the line of duty, and that her son James will be given a ticket home. Captain Miller and the rest of his group, which consists of great actors such as Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel, and more try their best to fullfill the mission and get through alive.
Great acting and cinematography makes this film so great. The fact that Steven Spielberg directed it is also a plus. A+
