Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick

Saving Private Ryan
is far from flawless, but it's an important movie. It shows what America was once capable of, how a threat to freedom and justice was met with resolve and bravery, and how a great victory came at great cost."

"
Saving Private Ryan
is a first-class war movie with some absolutely brilliant, gut-wrenching moments, especially the beginning minutes."
