I absolutely love this movie and the special features. It is action packed so there is never a lull, and it pulls on your heart-strings. It is a true story and for once, a movie actually got close to the truth. For some who were actually in Somalia serving our country, this movie may be a little hard to watch, my ex boyfriend could never watch this film because it was too realistic and brought back too many memories. But because it is realistic it is a great movie. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes true stories, drama, and war movies.

Again, another classic movie that will be around for a while. It's touching, real and gives personal insight into the lives of the people portrayed in this based- on true life movie. Excellent war movie and a must-see for people that like war movies.

I like Cage & Slater, and I'm ok with war movies, but this was such a let down. First of all, it ISN'T even about the Navaho Windtalkers, it's about Cage's character and his flashbacks to the brutality he experienced in combat, and these combat scenes went on for so long that I forgot what I was watching. The story-line for the Native American windtalkers was barely noticed because there was no real plot for either Navaho character. The script for these characters was probably two pages. The only big deal was in Hollywood because of the director. I gave the movie one star, and that is for the "feeble attempt" to show the heroic involvement of our Native Americans in WWII - but what a huge disappointment.

I enjoyed this for the story. I love a good war movie. I didn't enjoy this one as much as I thought I would, but Bruce Willis is a great leading man for this movie.

This film is very close to the nerve centers of practically all Marines because it so very realistically depicts their experiences in either boot camp and/or Vietnam. There isn't one that didn't feel a mysterious tingle in the back of his neck and a shiver down his spine when he first heard Lee Ermy calling cadence in the boot camp segment of the movie. Nuf said about the film except to say that the video and audio transfer to blu-ray is outstanding. The anamorphic treatment that allows it to fit 16X9 TVs is excellent. Makes it seem even more realistic. Buy It.

This movie had strong acting (with great actors and actresses), the plot could have been more interesting, and the ending was sub-par. This movie is worth watching, but not paying $20.00 for a DVD.

9.Saving Private Ryan [Blu-ray]
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
I hope that this is the closest that I ever come to combat in my life. Thank God for the men that put their lives on the line to keep us, and the world, free. Hats off to Spielberg for the realism of the combat. That should be enough for all of us to make a promise to ourselves to personally thank as many vets as we can for serving to keep us free. War is no walk in the park, and this movie comes closest to capturing just how close to hell it really is. This movie teaches a lot about sacrifice, courage, heroism, and emotion. Sometimes there are causes greater than our own selves which are worth sacrificing for. A great movie for this era. Too many men of that generation have passed away - this captures a little bit of what was special about that generation. A must see for all kids as soon as they are capable of handling it.
