one of the best war movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2002)

Black Hawk down never lets you off the hook for one minute. Unlike Saving Private Ryan, it places you in the battle and let's you feel things with the characters as things happen with very little of the Saving Private Ryan reflective dialogue. This is either an antiwar movie or a gung ho patriotic piece, it all depends on your point of view.
