Saving Private Ryan - Movie 1998

Title: Saving Private Ryan
Rating: 9/10
Director: Steven Spielberg

Saving Private Ryan takes place during World War 2 in the early days of  D-Day. Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) of the United States Army leads his men Sergeant Horvath (Tom Sizemore), Private Reiben (Edward Burns), Private Jackson (Barry Pepper), Private Mellish (Adam Goldberg), Private Caparzo (Vin Diesel), Wade (Giovanni Ribisi) and new recruit Corporal Upham (Jeremy Davies) on a mission behind enemy lines to recover Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon) a marine who loses all three of his brothers to the war.
This movie directed by Spielberg will never cease to surprise you no matter how many times you watch it. The special effects and well choreographed battles will send shivers down your spine. Spiced with the excellent acting skills of Tom Hanks playing the lead role, this movie really shows a bond being developed between the soldiers as they cope up with the horrors of war all the while struggling to maintain their own sanity.
The Omaha beach landing scene at the beginning will surely give you goosebumps as you will struggle to prevent your head from exploding with the awesomeness of that scene. Along with a comical sight of a soldier picking up his severed arm.
My favourite moment, Among a few is when Sergeant Horvath faces a german and they both are out of bullets so they throw their helmets at each other.
A truly epic movie that everyone should definetly watch, This movie deserves the highest praise for balancing the brutality of war with the lives of the soldiers.

10/10 would watch again.
