If you enjoy foreign relations and warfare, this is a must see. I've never seen anything as action packed and real as this movie has been. I've also yet to see a movie that could possibly top the overall package this... Full review

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

In interviews actual soldiers from the incident said it felt like a movie. There is no doubt that this movie accurately depicts the experience. Several people I talked to about said BHD bothered them because it showed the vulnerability of helicopters... Full review

His version of "Black Hawk Down" may have been antiwar on the surface, but I believe it was fundamentally prowar. The movie showed brutal scenes of killing, but also courage, stoicism and honor. ... 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.
On stage, Bana continues: It occurred to me that this film, Black Hawk Down, could only be made by the unique circumstances of the combination of a powerful producer, a powerful director and a group of actors who werent the stars of the movie the stars are the real men who fought there in Somalia in 1993. ...
