Writing Session - Intermediate 12

This was the last writing task I presented before finishing intermediate 12, it's a film review.

One film that I really enjoyed was Saving Private Ryan, which is an American war film set during the invasion of Normandy in World War 2. It was directed by Steven Spielberg in 1998 and starred Tom Hanks as Captain John Miller and Matt Damon as Private James Ryan.
The film begins when Miller is informed that three of four brothers have all died and that their mother will receive all three notices on the same day, so he is ordered to find Ryan, who is still alive. Miller assembles six rangers from his company to accomplish the task.
As the story unfolds, one of his men is fatally wounded by a sniper; however, despite the misgivings of his men he did not give up and after struggling against German defenses they finally find Ryan. There is quite a lot of action and suspense, and also the location is really suitable.
One thing that can be boring sometimes is the dialogue, but in general the film is worth watching and is aimed for all audiences, especially those who like war films.
