Great flick

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2008)

I loved this movie. It starts slowly but after the first 35 minutes it rocks. Incredible action and a brilliantly realistic portrayal of what our troops went through in Somalia. This movie isn't a character study, but nevertheless excellent acting (with Eric Bana being particularly memorable), and Ridley Scott is at his finest and deserved an Academy Award.
I left this movie with a profound respect for the military, and a better understanding of the current intractable situation in the middle east. This movie isn't propaganda, pro-war, or anti-war, it is about brotherhood in the time of war and the camaraderie and bond built between fighting men. Everyone must see this movie.
