War IS hell .....

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2002)

Naturally I read the book first, and the movie was as true to the book as it can get without sacrificing time for entertainment. If war can be called entertainment ..... This movie so realistically captures the two different styles of war (USA and Somalia); one being incredibly organized and technically superior, and the other being disorganized but fighting with reckless abandon. The gunfire-scenes are amazing as are the injuries and the treatment of them. This movie ranks right up there with Saving Private Ryan and A Bridge Too Far. A must-see for anyone thinking war is glorious. 9/10
