Quite possibly the best Worl War II movie ever made. The realism does not distract the viewer from the story line of saving a single man in a incredibly huge war. This movie has one of the greatest casts of the year including, Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore, Matt Damon, Edwards Burns, Vin Diesel, Giovanni Ribisi, Barry Pepper, and Jeremy Davies among others. This movie is not for those that are affected by grizly scenes of war. I do recommend this movie to anyone.

Overpowering film from start to finish. Great action and plot help turn this film form 'oh-another war- film' to 'sweet jesus christ that was so good!'. The gore and realism help portray thwe true horrors of WWII

  Spectacular, wrenching masterpiece that unflinchingly documents the random horror, the grisly spectacle and the ugliness of war.

  The effect is riveting and frightening. You feel you are under siege with the combatants.

  A searingly visceral combat picture, Steven Spielberg’s third World War II drama is arguably second to none as a vivid, realistic and bloody portrait of armed conflict.

  Steven Spielberg's best war film -- and one of the two or three best movies the director has made.

  Searing, heartbreaking, so intense it turns your body into a single tube of clenched muscle, this is simply the greatest war movie ever made, and one of the great American movies.

  One of the best films ever made in this country, filled with our proudest national virtues, cognizant of our deeply rooted human weaknesses and frighteningly able to evoke emotions.

  A war film that, entirely aware of its genre's conventions, transcends them as it transcends the simplistic moralities that inform its predecessors, to take the high, morally haunting ground.

  Steven Spielberg's soberly magnificent new war film, the second such pinnacle in a career of magical versatility, has been made in the same spirit of urgent communication. It is the ultimate devastating letter home.

  In striving to duplicate reality, Spielberg has gone reality one better -- he's playing war, but it's a game no one would ever willingly join in.

  An excellent movie, as effective in battle scenes as it is in that of soldiers ruminating on an Edith Piaf song.
