See it.

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2002)

I recommend this film. It's very intense and you might need a moment to yourself after, but see it. Ridley Scott does an excellent job with the story and he includes details that other filmakers might ignore. I went & bought the book immediately-the book fills in a lot of backstory and details that can't make it into a 2+ hour format. Excellent performances from the actors...no one stands out, which is exactly as it should be. This isn't one man's story. I know some people will leave this film with hatred for Somalis, but I hope that more people take the time to get the whole story. What is the US role in other countries' civil wars?
