good war movie

Rating: Null/10 (8 July 2002)

I have been a big fan of Josh Hartnett, and my parents took me to see it because it was rated R and i could not go alone. My parents aren't really interested in seeing movies at the movie theater, but they enjoyed it. This movie is a really good war movie.
SPOILER ALERT!!! Black Hawk Down is about a true event that took place in Somalia. It takes place in Mogadishu where a warlord is starving his citizens. With 300,000 dead and counting, the US decides to go in and remove the Somalian warlord. The first injured is an 18 year old kid named Blackburn, who falls out of the helicopter. Thats where things start going wrong. The somalians manage to shoot down 2 Black Hawk helicopters and kill about 18 Americans. [ end spoiler alert ]
The good thing about Black Hawk Down, is that they don't put a love story in it. Many movies such as Titanic and Pearl Harbor really would've turned out to be great movies if they didn't center the movie around a love story. Black Hawk Down is one of those movies where they manage to put a lot of the details that actually happen into the movie.
I highly recommend renting this movie ***** out of 5 stars
