It does give a claustrophobic feeling to the weight of the decisions Hanks character is called to make.

Best film in 63 years?

You need to watch more movies.

For war movies alone, start with Hanks in Saving Private Ryan. The first 20 minutes alone will floor you.

Have you seen Godfather 1 & 2?

Taxi Driver?

Budapest Hotel?

Everything Everywhere All At Once?
