I grew up on John Wayne and Alien Documentary’s so the mix intrigued me. I watch movies to be entertained for the most part and this one did not disappoint. It’s a movie I come back to time and again. Good story, good action and good acting. Nothing great but I noticed my overall score for this film is 7 points less than Saving Private Ryan’s - so let that adjust your anticipation to where it needs to be!
