Full review
If your looking to watch a film that has so much great detail that you feel like your actually there, then you've found that film. Saving Private Ryan is a film that starts off at the D-day landings. Tom Hanks plays a Captin, commanding a small squadron of men. After they land on the beach, they find out they must find Private Ryan. A soldier who had 3 brothers in the war, all of which died. To save his mother further sufering, Captin John H. Miller (Tom Hanks) and his squad are sent to retrieve him and pull him out of the war.
The movie begins with the D-day landings. The effects this scene has are so great! How they made it look so realistic, I do not know. It consists of men moving up the beach, loosing their arms, drowning in the water because of heavy equipment, there is even a camera angle were you see it from the German gunner's point of view. The story is just amazing.
Throughout the movie the squad gets less and less men as usually one dies at every battle. This, of course, makes it more realistic as in some war films you go the whole film without anybody getting hurt!
The squad consists of Captin John H. Miller (Tom Hanks), Sergeant Mike Horvath (Tom Sizemore), Private. Richard Reiben (Edward Burns), Private. Daniel Jackson (the sniper) (Barry Pepper), Private. Stanley Mellish (Adam Goldberg), Private. Adrien Caparzo (Vin Diesel), T-4 Medic Irwin Wade (Giovanni Ribisi) and Corpral Timothy P. Upam (Jeremy Davies). Private Ryan is played my Matt Damon.
This is a great film which is simply a MUST see. I have watched it numerouse times, it never gets old. Great film 10/10!
