Movie Blackhawk Down
Nutshell True story of the routine extraction by U.S. soldiers that became the Battle of Mogadishu, the longest sustained ground battle involving American soldiers since the Vietnam War.
Good Things Ridley Scott's Mark Bowden's Blackhawk Down, capische? An exceptional film.
Bad Things Okay, are there no American actors? Did they just vanish? What is going on here? What is going on with these accents. Yes, I am looking at you, Eric Bana and Ewan McGregor. EWEN BREMNER is AMERICAN? This is the person who was the hardest to understand in "Snatch!" What... the... hell.... is going on here?

Uncomfortable Moments It's all pretty chilling. Perhaps the most uncomfortable moment of all was the whole artery thing.
Notable Well let me just say that I waited all this time to see Ron Eldard in a good film again and now here he is: beaten up, shot, back broken and mostly covered in a helmet and fatigues. THANKS!
Best Part Sizemore not flinching in the Humvee (?). Now that rocked.
Best Line "Ammo, Dude. Take ammo."
Crowns 5 out of 5
