good action movie

Rating: 7/10 (15 February 2007)

It is an action-war movie. Unlike the other war movies such as Saving Private Ryan, The Thin Red Line or Platoon, Black Hawk Down focuses on short period of the modern war in Somalia. Instead of the essential character building sequences, movie starts with the action and never it stops.
In the movie sound effects and cgi effects are outstanding. the movie has also a powerful editing style which creates very realistic and intense feel its audience.
Amazing cinematography, great direction style and atmosphere are also important elements for the movie.
Technically, Black Hawk Down is a good movie. Scenes perfectly manage to give realistic impression of the soldiers. But I believe that the real victims of war, civilians, more important than two or three American soldier's life. In addition, all Somali soldiers are shown as ruthless killers and the Americans are shown more humanitarian.
In that point of view, Black Hawk Down loses its point as a war movie.
