I dislike this movie for the same reasons that I dislike Hurt Locker, American Sniper and Body of Lies. The film simply acts as a retelling of a story from the very biased American viewpoint. Its basically a form of propaganda. Like most other war films, this film also lacks a clear protagonist who we should root for. Instead we are presented with more than twenty characters at the films beginning without being given any introduction. It is very difficult to keep track of whos who and whats happening to everyone. The action sequences are largely filmed in dark light which makes them hard to see and very difficult to folow. The whole film is too long. There is only enough plot and action to merit ablut an hour, but proper character introduction and development could drag it out to a hundred minutes or so. Generally, extremely dull. 4/10

When i watch this movie awhile back, this film is epic not gonna lie. To this day i still kept coming back, watching it for a thousand times over since the release of it then up to the present day. But still "Black Hawk Down" remains 'the best war movie ever made" for those who are the first timers who wants to watch this movie, WATCH NOW! This movie technically, won't disappoint you.

160 elite U.S. soldiers drop into Somalia to capture two top lieutenants of a renegade warlord and find themselves in a desperate battle with a large force of heavily-armed Somalis. With great direction, talented cast, amazing war set pieces, violence and above all an amazing and faithful adaptation of War and it's consequences 'Black Hawk Down' is one of Ridley's Scott's most underrated films and a War film that takes it's place next to War Movie giants like Saving Private Ryan, We Were Soldiers and Hacksaw Ridge. (A+)

The few here who have ever had to experience live fire on the level shown in this movie will know this: this movie is the closest thing to a real firefight most people will see, and bear in mind it is sanitized. The real thing is even worse, even scarier, even louder...and again, even worse.This is a rough, intense movie. Probably right on the edge of what is in any way commercial. I am actually surprised any studio released this film, it's that hard-core. Spoiler alert here..Somalia is a fourth-world country with mores more akin to perhaps the 5th or 6th Century. Do not expect to leave the theater or your other viewing location with much sympathy for them, and they aren't looking for it from you. And I speak with experience. A hell of a movie, and I mean that in every sense of the word. And look up the term "fire discipline".
