Black Hawk Down
While there is nothing really wrong with this film on paper, it suffers from being too much of the same. Most scenes in the film are just shot-reverse shots of people shooting guns and people getting shot, and eventually you become desensitized to it and it becomes boring. 5.5/10

Black Hawk Down
There's nothing really that stands out here from other war films I've seen, but Ridley Scott didn't shy away from showing you the realism of war and how brutal it really is. However, the biggest detriment is you don't really get any character moments till around the final act, and some of the war scenes got a bit repetitive.

Black Hawk Down
8.2/10
The combat and atmosphere is unbelievable.
The scale of this movie is very impressive.
I wished they went a little deeper on the characters and or showed a piece of the Somalian perspective.
The leave no man behind theme is good but it makes the Mogadishu conflict more of a set piece than apart of the plot.
Still, a masterful clash of modern warfare and filmmaking.

Excellent. 10/10. Beautiful. Horrific. Sad. Dangerous. Josh Hartnett. Enough said.
