A Graphic and Chaotic War Film

Black Hawk Down (2001)
Directed by Ridley Scott, rated R, 144 minutes

Black Hawk Down is a realistic and bleak film that shows a rather unglamorous view of war. The film is about a group of elite U.S. soldiers sent into Somalia, who find themselves in a city where their enemies are everywhere and mixed in with the civilians. The fantastic cast, including Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor, Eric Bana, Tom Sizemore and William Fitchner, manage to create a plethora of likable characters. The battle scenes are brilliantly directed, and the film even manages to make you feel like you're trapped in Somalia with these men. Black Hawk Down is a powerful and violently realistic war film that presents an honest, frightening and heroic view war. You'll like it if: You like war movies, movies with large casts, Ridley Scott's films, Saving Private Ryan or Tears of the Sun.
