but Saving Private Ryan wasn't terribly gung-ho, which you admit, it tried to be more about looking at the gritty horror of war the soldiers were just trying to survive rather than the excitement or honor of it. So yeah I guess it is not a gung-ho action film at all, huh?

The cartoony action seen in the trailer for Miracle, plus the whole murder mystery/cute little kid sidekick/secret artifact/Italian peasant woman speaking perfect English plot devices makes this look more like a very traditional by the numbers Hollywood adventure flick. Like how The Inside Man is an entertaining enough heist movie while Serpico is more than that.

Shit, this may well be better than Saving Private Ryan on its own terms but it just doesn't seem like it will be a heavy hitter at any awards shows.

Plus, I'm not seeing a show stopping scene like the Normandy landing to secure Spike any awards for technical skill. With the exception of a couple big wide shots this trailer seems to cut around the action scenes pretty deliberately.
