enjoyable, but I don't think it's one of the best of the year

Rating: 7/10 (24 January 2002)

I enjoyed Black Hawk Down, as I enjoy most of Bruckheimer's explosion filled films. However, it isn't a great movie. There is no character development, and I really didn't find myself caring for any of the characters. I think that it is an important story to tell, but the only reason it might deserve any talk as one of the best movies of 2001 is because of the fact that there just simply weren't that many great movies this year.
