The best war since "Saving Private Ryan!" Period!

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2002)

Ridley Scott, one of the world's talented directors and Jerry Bruckheimer, my all-time favorite producer, team up for the first time with this war film that's based on a true story. Their first time together, they did a marvelous job recreating the war that took place on Somalia in 1993. This movie is strong and graphic since Steven Speilberg's best war film, "Saving Private Ryan." Not many big stars in this movie, but Josh Hartnett, who last teamed up with Bruckheimer for Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor," did a good job. If you're in the mood for a war film, then I suggest you check out "Black Hawk Down."
A+ ****** (out of ****** stars) 13/13
