What an awful movie

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2006)

A vile and racist film. I haven't seen anything this embarrassing since "Birth of a Nation" where in one scene a town is 'liberated' by the KKK! Look at how Ridley Scott portrays the Somalis; as a faceless horde of screaming black savages. The white people are all good and the blacks are all evil. We are never told anything about the real political reasons for the US intervention in Somalia - at one point somebody says "f*ck politics!" (A line repeated in "Jarhead")
F*ck politics? Politics is the reason these men were sent over there to kill and get killed. Scott avoids the important questions.
Also, the movie contradicts its own all-important 'leave no man behind' theme by ending the movie before we even find out what happened to the POW. A repugnant movie.
