Feels like a RAW experience of the Mogadishu incident

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2020)

This film at its core has something very few war movies portrait it correctly.
The cinematography and sound designs are very effective, and seems to mix up with the action seamlessly.No wonder it won so many awards. There's no depiction of hero or a hero's unit. The atmosphere and tension was natural and there's no necessity of using music to amplify that. Even with the inconsistencies of certain characters, events and other armed units,the movie showed the operation of Delta Forces and helicopter crash correctly. Never I felt the raw tension and palpitation of Somali combatants creeping up to the injured pilots.All in all its a pretty gritty and on most parts accurate depiction and action grounded in realism. Revisiting this movie after watching "Hacksaw Ridge", made me appreciate it even more. We dont need over the top gore to depict horrors and tensions of war. The war stories if told correctly can create situations for that. For those who never saw military movies, see this one, its a gem of the military genre.
