A very good Tom Hanks flick (though not as good, in my view, as "Saving Private Ryan.") But for a good story line and a great example of down-to earth acting, the 144 minutes spent in watching it was well worth the price of admission and time sequestered in the theater....Maybe Hanks seems a bit naïve in accepting the assignment foisted upon him considering the degree of cynicism which prevails in our culture. But then again, his accepting that assignment....and coming to an understanding of the constitutional principle involved....is a demonstration that might well sharpen one's conscience with respect to living under civil law.
