Black Hawk Down review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/23/11
A mission to capture Omar Salad Elmi and Abdi Hassan Awale Qeybdiid went haywire when 2 Black Hawk helicopters were gun downed. Cast includes Eric Bana (as the tough and skilled SFC Norm "Hoot" Hooten), Tom Sizemore (as the confident LTC Danny McKnight), Josh Hartnett (as the newly appointed Chalk Leader SSG Matt Eversmann) and many more. The drama, action and cinematography was believable. Only qualms I had were the soundtrack, lack of better character development, a few dragging scenes irrelevant to the story, historical inaccuracies (actual life in Somalia, Malaysian/Pakistani troops aided in the battle) and depiction of Somali people. Black Hawk Down is a good war film worth your time especially those who enjoy true to life films such as this critic.
