Excellent war movie---8/10

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2002)

Non-stop action, great acting and a good soundtrack round out another great package for Jerry Bruckheimer. I liked most of his movies except for Pearl Harbor. Black Hawk Down is a fact-based story which follows an elite group of U.S. rangers who are on a peacekeeping mission in Mogadishu when there are attacked by the rebels. Ewan McGregor, Josh Hartnett and Tom Sizemore are a part of the great cast which also includes great turns by Ewen Bremner (Trainspotting) and William Fichtner (Armageddon) Bullets are always flying in this flick whether in the background or the fore front. Even though this movie might create more hostility in America against Muslims, this is a great movie that should not be missed in theaters. 8/10
