This is a brilliant modern war movie, by master director Ridley Scott. This has to be the best war movie since Saving private Ryan. What's shocking is the events are true ! This is a re-enactment of the disasterouse mission held in Mogadishu in October 1993. The outcome of this 18 hour battle was broadcast to the west with pictures of dead U.S. Marines being dragged around the dusty streets. The film never chooses sides in it account. but lays the facts and lets the viewer draw there own conclusion. The film has a powerful message, but this is one hell of a war film, as once things to spiral out of control for the marines, the audiance is submitted to a very real battle. Bullets shred, heads and bodies explode. hardly ever has war been so real on film.
This is a essential War movie, and also a very important movie. It's a Bloody Classic !
the movie is outstanding, it may be long but its worth it, and alot of good characters !
I LOVE Black Hawk Down, but don't buy this box. It looks big, and it looks special, but actually, its just a normal DVD size box, with nothing more specially than the cammo. Yeah, it gots 3 DVD's inside, and alot of bonus, but you are looking after a DVD that looks good in your collection, buy the other version either then.
Anyways, the 5 stars is for the movie.
good film it took a week to deliver but its free so i cant complain. this set has 3 discs with so much stuff piled on to them its WELL worth the extra money and its the same size as a normal DVD so it fits into my DVD rack nicely
1993 and a crack unit of American soldiers go into the maelstrom that is the Somali capital Mogadishu to capture a warlord. The whole affair goes horribly wrong and director Scott covers it all off in slavish and fascinating detail. In amongst the hardware, it's sometimes quite hard to distinguish one shaven headed actor from another, but Scott keeps the tension relentlessly high and also manages to find some true visual beauty in amongst the carnage.
