Worth a Second Look

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2002)

This a hard film to get into because of the long extensive battle scenes. While war films aren't necessarily my favorite genre and it's not the greatest story I ever heard it's certainly a masterfully put together film. There are great moments in this that are Spielberg's trademarks but the handheld camera and the selective omission of sound are truly great at getting you into the insanity and making it a realistic experience. Home video subtracts from the experience and you must find a larger screen if at all possible. 8/10
