18 Years later and still an amazing film

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2019)

I remember watching this at the theatre when I was in middle school. Years later and its on Netflix. I still can't believe how good of a film it is still today. Crazy how watching it years later and you'll see were actors careers had blown up. This film has Orlando Bloom, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jamie Lanister), Kim Coates, Sam Shapard. Just saying 18 years old and this film is still mind blowing. The amount of time and money they spent shows and it will I think become a classic war film.
I think my favorite thing I get to see watching this years later is that they used practical effects. Having to shoot real helicopter on base, building a prop destroyed black hawk, and you can see some green screen elements and how they used this method back then.
