An excellent film.

Rating: Null/10 (13 June 2002)

Black Hawk Down is another of the ultra realistic war movies that has come out in recent years.(Braveheart was the first?) An excellent film with everything going for it. Acting, plot, and above all, action. I think Saving Private Ryan beats it for gore, but Black Hawk Down still has that brutal visceral kick to it. (Why do people go on about the realism in the Thin Red Line?).
Dialogue was nothing outstanding, but it revealed the characters somewhat, and got everything else moving. Once into the battle scenes, the dialogue consisted of "Fire", or "Cover me.". As it should be though.
I wouldn't call this the greatest war movie ever, but it is up there.
