Rating: 6/10 (3 March 2004)

the white man's that is. This was a well executed war flick to be sure, by the time the names of the 17 us soldiers who were killed patritically scrolled by at the films end i was pretty well entertained. The usual dulling of the complex issues behind these sorts of horrible events did not suprize, the bad guys were awful and we were up to our usual do-goodieness. then i had a bit of a thought.... the film sure seemed to pump up the number of killed somalies. so i looked it up on line, 500+ dead somalies, they were not kidding with all the dead bad people piling up. 500+ dead people and not a peep about that fact at the end of the film? am i to belive they were all satan's spawn and they simply do not merit a mention? this sort of movie dumbs down the populace of this country, a country that is rather heavily handedly imposing it's will on the course of world events with very mixed results. i think this film does a disservice to our democracy, unless of course, the freedom to "make a buck and damn everything else" is our overarching principal.
