Why?

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2003)

Decent film but why on earth did Ridley Scott put Ewan McGregor in as a fictional soldier? It really spoilt the realism of the movie for me. As if the US army would ask a desk jockey to grab a gun and go help some Special Forces and Rangers because they are a man short.
It would put the whole team at risk to have someone like that in the combat team and they simply would not risk it. He was the Jar Jar Binks of Black Hawk Down and it made portions of the film a bit on the comical side.
