Better than "Saving Private Ryan"

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 1999)

This movie shows why it's not good to rely on Hollywood all the time. Even when Hollywood does make a good war movie like "Saving Private Ryan", they still manage to stuff it full of sentimentality and, of course, a good ending. If you're sick of their childish games check this movie out. This movie to "Ryan" is what "Ryan" is to all those John Wayne flicks. That is to say, a nasty, but healthy dose of wartime hell.
