This was actually a good movie. Apparently based on real events.Has a great cast in this. I would recommend this film for war movie fans.

MCT:October 21, 2008For a "realistic" war movie this film isn't very engaging. Ewan McGregor - and Eric Bana especially - give the best performances, but you never feel that the soldiers won't make it back. Perhaps if the threat was greater and some more major characters were killed off it would have been more interesting.

MCT:October 21, 2008I have seen this movie countless times but I felt compelled to write a review tonight. I was at work bored and twiddling my thumbs, a 18 wheeler pulled up and a fairly young trucker hopped out. We must have talked for an hour.
He's been home from Iraq for about a year. He was part of a rapid response unit in Baghdad and beyond. You know...one of those guys that get called when the shit hits the fan...and they need to make a precise drop of "boots" to an altercation.
He would repel from Black Hawks to hot spots in Iraq. Secure locations, re-enforce units already engaged or hunt and dispatch/capture insurgence.
His unit and several others were called to action. A lead Humvee was hit by an IED and they were also taking small arms fire. He and several others flew to that location and took up a position on a rooftop.
He was wounded and almost died when a RPG hit part of the structure. Several friends in his unit died from shrapnel.
He was injured so bad that he spent a few months in a German hospital before he was stable enough to fly home. Some of his friends were not that lucky. Did I mention this "boy" was 24 years old at the time, on his second tour?
Of course it reminded me of this movie. Though I haven't really reviewed this movie so far...just know if your one of the Few that haven't seen it you should.
Based on True events in the Battle of Mogadishu, in 1993 . Directed by Ridley Scott, Black Hawk Down shows us the courage, honor and valor that is the US Military. God Speed Brothers....IM glad I have a job that I can be bored at. -

I found this one of the most decent war films in recent times, the acting was good but the script seemed to lack originality, the direction and cinematography was extremely well done, which makes this a really good film.

So fucking vivid and realistic.
It was great. I loved Sargent. Eversmann .posted 279 days ago -
Best war movie ever. Why??? Because their is no message. It doesn't try to make some big political statement about war. It just presents war as it is. Brutal, confusing, loud, and fast. Josh Hartnett stands out of the cast. He gives a very subtle and understated performance. The rest of the cast is decent even Orlando Bloom. Ewan McGregor is his usual annoying self.
Despite his presence, Black Hawk Down is an instant classic.posted 432 days ago -

Best war movie ever. Story was amazingly told, Rangers and Delta Operators desperately trying to save two downed blackhawk crews. And It wasn't a love story like pearl harbor.
