the praise of reality is not all that accurate.

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2004)

Before anyone starts praising the movie for the reality of it should read the book! Not to say that movie is bad or not accurate. It really does portray American soldiers in hell fire for hours in Mogadishu, the major events are accurate, such as the timing of the black hawks being shot down, and the massive rescue mission. But the details of the convoys are not quite. I big eye opener, the lead Josh Harnett, plays Srgt Eversmann, Eversmann went back to the base with the first convoy!! He was not stuck in Mog during the night! read the book its there. just on example there are many more. great great and sad story very well done, but lose accuracy on events. a must see!
