Movie Reviews of Black Hawk Down [Region 2]
Movie Review: Amazing Movie. So So Blu Ray
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is a classic, but the Blu Ray isn't necessarily so. Its only a mild improvement over the SD version. If you already own the SD version, I might recommend you not upgrade, unless you find a good deal.
Summary of Black Hawk Down [Region 2]
Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down conveys the raw, chaotic urgency of ground-force battle in a worst-case scenario. With exacting detail, the film re-creates the American siege of the Somalian city of Mogadishu in October 1993, when a 45-minute mission turned into a 16-hour ordeal of bloody urban warfare. Helicopter-borne U.S. Rangers were assigned to capture key lieutenants of Somali warlord Muhammad Farrah Aidid, but when two Black Hawk choppers were felled by rocket-propelled grenades, the U.S. soldiers were forced to fend for themselves in the battle-torn streets of Mogadishu, attacked from all sides by armed Aidid supporters. Based on author Mark Bowden's bestselling account of the battle, Scott's riveting, action-packed film follows a sharp ensemble cast in some of the most authentic battle sequences ever filmed. The loss of 18 soldiers turned American opinion against further involvement in Somalia, but Black Hawk Down makes it clear that the men involved were undeniably heroic. --Jeff ShannonRidley Scott's Black Hawk Down conveys the raw, chaotic urgency of ground-force battle in a worst-case scenario.
