Besides "Saving Priavte Ryan" this is the best war movie I've ever seen. Ridley Scott did an exellent job but he shouldn't have music during a gun fight because it kind of disrupts the realism. Speaking of realism, this is very... Full review

Yet here is Bana enjoying the catapult of fame that film gave him, working with the likes of Ridley Scott, Jerry Bruckheimer and a cast of brilliant actors in Black Hawk Down.
