Mediocre at best

Rating: 4/10 (25 January 2002)

This film was a visual feast, but was tailored to the 20-something male who plays Nintendo and Sega far too much. This film was needlessly over-gorey, had nauseatingly bad dialouge, and a soundtrack that added NOTHING to the film and was, at times, unnessecary and overblown. I felt no connection to any of the characters, was given no real reason to care about the success of the mission, and worst of all, the film portayed the Somalis as blood-thirsty savages, all of whom were barbaricly brandishing weapons and ky-yiing at the top of their lungs. Terrible filmmaking. Thumbs down and 4 out of 10 - which is quite generous. LOTR still the best film of 2002.
