Intense

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2002)

This movie was very intense. Very well done. Well acted. It's visually stunning. You leave the theater almost feeling shell shocked. I don't remember ever seeing a movie with so much gunfire. Even "The Patriot", though "Patriot" seemed more bloody. I think that's because the battle scenes in "Patriot" took place in daylight for the most part. Much of "Black Hawk's" battle scenes are through the night. I will say about "Black Hawk" (as I say about "Patriot") that it's a movie every American should see.
A friend of mine who works in a training facility with some of the soldiers who were in Somalia didn't like the way the Rangers were portrayed in the film. He describes them as intense, professional, trained fighters. The most elite of all soldiers. Not all of the Rangers in the film as portrayed in that way and that was the one problem he had with the movie.
It's definitely a must see.
