More Relevant Today than Ever.

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2004)

ahh the paralells that can be drawn between this film and the situation in Iraq. This film could have been a documentary using Hollywood actors as the camera work is superb as well as the editing. The film focuses on the U.S. invasion of Somalia to capture a warlord who is starving his people in a vicious civil war. What the movie basically shows though is that war is indeed hell and that anything can happen at any given moment. The camera herks and jerks around to follow the action and even if it is not, the camera appears to be hand held. The movie also is edited to build dramatic tension and on the other hand to show in full video the horrors that American soldiers face even today. This film deserves a 6 out of 10.
