This film is racist, one sided and despicable

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 2002)

This is one of the most horrible films I have seen in a long time. The somalis are depicted as savages wihtout humanity, everything is told from the american persceptive and the somalis are just there to wave spears and be cannon fodder for the brave americans. Ridley Scott is one of my favourite directors and the fighting scenes (which are basically the whole film) are very slick and realistic, and so is the attention to detail but Josh Hartnett is ludicrously bad as always. If you are a racist and like films where innocent people are slaughtered and made to look like savages and where the Americans rule the world as always then you'll like this. If you have a brain in your head and any respect for the human race then you will hate it. Two out of ten.
