Will truly keep you on the edge of your seat...

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2002)

Like most of us, I've seen plenty of war movies in my day. Never before, though, have I seen one that was as consistently intense as this one. For about 90 minutes, "Black Hawk Down" had me on the edge of my seat. I felt as if I was being shot at right there in Somalia... Great acting by the old vet's (is Tom Sizemore ever bad?) and by the young cast (especially Josh Hartnett). I must admit I did not expect too much from a Bruckheimer production, but I guess the excellent directing from Ridley Scott (a true master) overcame the typical no-story action films Bruckheimer usually throws our way. Highly recommended... 9/10
