Considering that the actual crew were outraged at the false representation depicted within this film....that's a instant 1 - 0 star rating.

Unreal story and conveyed in such a REAL MANNER, you felt as though you we're a part of it! DEFINATE 5+ STARS to the cast and all involved. Mindblowing. I WAS MOVED TO TEARS AT THE LAST SCENE. UNREAL ACTOR.

Talk about a captivating movie, this was filled with action and suspense. Tom Hanks has been in many movies which were all good but, personally I can honestly say, this one is my favorite one!
