> ...Saving Private Ryan (which is way, way too much of a Hollywood action movie)... The hand-to-hand combat sequence with Adam Goldberg is one of the most amazing I have ever seen. Not a typical action scene.

That scene is pretty good. Saving Private Ryan has top-notch action and production values (yes, I know about the inaccuracies, that the Tiger tank isn't a Tiger, etc. Still top notch). The problem with Saving Private Ryan is that it looks and plays as American propaganda. American flags waving bookend the movie, there are famous quotes by American politicians, Tom Hank's larger than life "earn this" quote, rah rah rah. That's what makes it "too Hollywood", not that the action is bad. The action is good!
