This edition of Black Hawk Down is well worth the purchase if your a fan. There are plenty of hours of extra features.
Most accurate military movie to date -- from a military standpoint September 9, 2007

I know a few guys who knew some of the actual crew from the Blackhawk, and everyone I've talked to from Colonels to junior enlisted say that this is the most accurate military film to date. Ridley Scott did an excellent job. All the actors did an excellent job and we had a slew of nationalities: American, British, Australian, Canadian.
Thanks.
Patriotic people will love this movie. August 9, 2007
Keith Miller (Boise, Idaho USA)
This is a very good movie. There are intense scenes in this movie but true to life in a situation of this type.
Awesome August 1, 2007

The compelling story of the tragic outcome to what was supposed to be a textbook simple military mission fuels this well-told, often difficult to witness, 2002 Ridley Scott film. Recounting the 1993 daylight raid by US forces into a section of Mogadishu, Somalia controlled by agents of guerilla strong man Muhammad Aidid, and the eighteen-hour nightmare many of the American peacekeepers endured when that mission went horribly wrong, Black Hawk Down is a violent, frequently sad, realistically-depicted re-creation of events from that fateful time. In my experience Black Hawk Down is also the sort of film that needs more than one viewing, not only because the density and scope of the on-screen action can overwhelm almost anyone, but also because it is easy to lose track of who is who among the identically-dressed, similarly-featured young (shockingly young, to be honest) men who are caught up in the firefights that compose so much of the movie, and both the story and the actual human beings about whom it is concerned deserve to be recognized and distinguished as to what role they played in the battles, and what the ultimate outcome was for each of them. Black Hawk Down may or may not enter the pantheon of cinematic military classics, but in post-Vietnam/pre-Iraq War America, this depiction of violence and death in the horn of Africa was uniquely unsettling.
