Great, sad, gut retching, intense, real, too real, emotional just a few words that come to mind

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2002)

At the start of the film I never knew much about the situation, and was there really just to view the action everyone had been talking about. The start is fairly slow, and I felt myself wishing for them to get into the fight, however as soon as that helicopter came down, I wanted them to get out. Very intense and realistic you really connect with the characters, which made some scenes just too realistic, which isn't a bad thing. It's the only thing apart from the TV series Â‘Band of Brothers', which really shows you the true meaning of war. All the characters are played well, and Ridley Scott has produced another masterpiece. Some critics say that it has no direction, story line or meaning, well a true depiction of real events needs non apart from the event itself. Excellent film, if you don't mind seeing flesh being ripped, and limbs being lost, go and see it.
