I really liked this movie! My wife, who has seen many war films (but not Private Ryan) was totally shocked by this films gritty realism. Zac Orth gives a fantastic performance as the young 'fish out of water' Pvt. Warren Sanderson, (something tells me we haven't heard the last of this fine young actor). I guess comparisons to Saving Pvt. Ryan are inevitable - it's a shame really because this film can stand on it's own without them. Say movie lovers, - is it just me or are these HBO movies consistently better than those films released by major studios? Whatever's the case this film is one of their best!
