Phenomenal.

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2002)

In my humble opinion, "Blackhawk Down" was the best film of 2001. I'm surprised that Bruckheimer didn't do more of an Oscar campaign with this film, as it's one of the best films he's ever produced. ALL POLITICS ASIDE, this was one of the most realistic and gut-wrenching war films ever made. It simply makes you never want to go to war. If you know anything about filmmaking, then you know what it takes to helm a film of this scope and to get it right. Ridley Scott should be very proud.
