one of the best

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2015)

this movie is showing how hard, brutal modern warfare is for young soldiers(the scene where Pila is killed..you can see on the soldier's face ''omg it's not like in movies or video game, look there is blood all over the truck, my friend is dead, he is dead omg'')
and how stupid it is sometimes to engage a country against people who are fighting each other for centuries
who heard or check what is going on in Somalia since?
the movie is based on real event and is about top American forces engaged against a warlord who leads his country to death by starving and mass murdering.
they settle a mission, which should last 30 min. and it will fail, rebels are more organized than they thought and they engage them in a guerrilla. It's not where American's army perform the most, they are more like a hammer than a scalpel. they'll spent all the night under fire before being rescued, by the NATO forces.
every actor here is great, but special mention for
Josh Arnett as a fresh leader who must lead his men in this mess for the very 1st time and he'll have many many things to worry about.
Ewan McGregor ''the barman'' who wants so badly to go on the field, I'll have more than he expected
Tom Sizemore, as a fearless Colonel and a vet, he is absolutely great
Eric Bana, he is Delta forces and his performance here is one of his best, his last line '' hey! we start a new week, it's Monday'' then going back on the field after he explained to J. Arnett what war is about, the other man next to them.
Hugh Dancy the medic, see by yourself
then William Fitchner who, IMO, is a underrated actor, the same here, he is Delta and this is one of his best movie.
this is a movie who belongs with , Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Apocalypse Now in the hall of fame of war movies
