Spielberg has constructed an excellent war spectacle. This is essentially an old fashioned war film with more graphic violence. This is not to take away from the film, the battle sequences at the start and finish are probably some of the best ever filmed. They reminded me a lot of Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket and Dr. Strangelove. Spielberg, like Kubrick uses a lot of shifting perspectives. First person perspective works the best for me. You the viewer are transported to the front line with the troops. An excellent film to watch many times. Tom Sizemore rules.
