Riveting, but only part of the story

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 2002)

The film was a technical masterpiece and really "put you there" with the soldiers involved in the firefight, a visceral experience. For those who want more information on the actual event, read Mark Bowden's book, it truly puts a face on the various Rangers, Special Forces, and Helicopter crew members. I also strongly recommend the EXCELLENT Frontline documentary titled "Ambush in Mogadishu", it has interviews with the Rangers, Somalis, and Politicians involved in the debacle.
