by Jane Rackham, Radio Times, [date unknown, 2003 or later]

Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks's ambitious epic is based on a real-life account of a tough American fighting unit during the Second World War. Damian Lewis stars and it has big-screen production values, but thankfully no gung-ho patriotism or irrelevant sentimentality.
