Saving Private Ryan is a solid war film, with a quality story and a good lead in Hanks.One thing you could always count on in Spielberg films is quality characters, but that isn't the case here. Hanks carries the film and while Ribisi, Sizemore and Damon's characters are good, many are not likable. In particular Jeremy Davies's character Corporal Upham is downright awful. Not only that but action sequences are lost to this character's perspective. I cannot think of a character in any other Spielberg film that i really dislike let alone hate like this, it really hinders the film for me. I do however still like the film, the action sequences not containing Upham are of quality and the opening and ending moments of elderly Ryan are heartfelt. It falters in the in-between moments, but Hanks carries it through. The scene with the three medics including Ribisi surrounding a wounded soldier is just hilarious. The idea of three men attending to one man who is wounded and not fighting is ludicrous, but then for the wounded guy to get shot more while they are attending to him cracks me up. Medic Wade: Just give us a f****** chance you son of a b****!
