Review of Saving Private Ryan (1998) by Dutch E — 24 Dec 2012
"Saving Private Ryan" is, at its foundation, a thrilling and rewarding film that succeeds in exhilarating the audience and fulfilling the needs of any adrenaline junkies who happen to be watching.
What sets the film apart from a vast category of movies that also achieve this merit is that when the action stops the viewers interest doesn't. A nonstop, action-packed spectacle of epic proportions, this opening absorbs the viewer to the extent that the experience becomes a predominantly visceral one, where everything on screen is felt rather than seen or heard.
Saving Private Ryan, a gem in its own right, is heightened to further planes of excellence by a cast of great variety and, at the time, predominant obscurity, with the exceptions of Hanks, Tom Sizemore and Matt Damon.
