More gore then natural born killers, saving private ryan and reservoir dogs put together!

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2002)

Despite the mindless violence and incomplex plot the movie does successfully depict the tragic events of October 1993. With stunning visuals, and unprecedented gore, Blackhawk Down effectively demonstrates the futitily and tragedy of war and combat. For all those unsatisfied with the movie and horrified with the blood and guts, they should realise that it is their tax dollars (if you are americans)which pay for these special operations. They should also realise that the violence shown was probably not too exaggerated and is pretty close to what really happened. So if you chose to go for the movie, be man enough to accept the reality of war and mature enough to accept its realistic portrayal in the movie BLackhawk DOwn.
A 8/10 for a very realistic portrayal, and stunning visual effects.

PS. I have been to many movies, and never have i seen practically an entire audience looking the other way during many of the gory scenes. People had their eyes covered, faces covered, and heads on their neighbours shoulders!
