Ridley Proves What a Great Artist He Is Once More

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2002)

Ridley Scott has produced a film that is truly an event among modern cinema showing that War Really is Hell. Yet doing it with such vision and style that you cannot help be mesmerised by the brutality of the conflict and the braveness of these soldiers. Unfortunately the lack of background information on the story and certain contrived generalisations stop this from being Ridley's greatest masterpiece just sit back and enjoy it for what it is the brutality of War summed up in three words 'Black Hawk Down'.
