Another Crock Of Untruths & BS

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2002)

Shame, Shame....here we have another film posing to tell the truth of the Blackhawk incident in Somalia. For shame on Ridley Scott for not having the guts to tell the real truth. But the real truth is: No matter what the reason for being there, our soldiers screwed the pooch in this operation. Scott blames the incident on American policy. What's wrong with us today? Are we too patriotic these days to say that our boys messed it up? Evidently so. All in all, BHD sadly cannot live up to the best war movies. Saving Private Ryan and Spielberg still is heads above BHD. More so in fact that BHD seems almost amateurish. The acting is mainly stock, lots of screaming & yelling that's been done before. BHD breaks no new ground and if America weren't in this fervent patriotic stupor, BHD wouldn't even be on celluloid. Forget it and be happy.
