One Of The More Average War Flicks.

Rating: 6/10 (11 June 2010)

i don't want to review this piece of junk but i told myself for a while i would try to review every movie i watched as a matter of exercise.
this movie was no 'Bridge on the River Kawaii'. it isn't even as good as 'Tora!Tora!Tora!' it was just kind of okay.
when Ridley Scott is good, he's really good.'Blade Runner' and 'Alien' are Sci Fi classics. but when he's bad he can be so dull. this movie was neither bad nor good. just dull.
however the battle scenes are excellent and are done with Ridley Scott's usual attention to realism. the battle scenes are believable and almost poetic in their realism. it's the rest of the movie that falls flat.
aside from the battle scenes, i just couldn't deal with the rest of this junk. the dialogue was terrible, the acting unremarkable, and the frickin ending monologue so stupid i couldn't believe it. after wasting over two hours of my life with this(i could have, should have, been doing the dishes)the damned thing couldn't make up it's mind whether it was anti-hero or pro-hero. boring.
Fascist film maker Ridley Scott couldn't make up his idiot mind because we shouldn't have been in Somalia in the first place. BURN Hollywood BURN!
