Review of Black Hawk Down (2001) by Timo S — 04 Dec 2011

A great war movie! Great action movie! I was entertained all through out the movie! Great host of cast members. Nice story related to a real-life story/battle. Great dramatic acting and scenes. Good emotions too. Not much to go on with this movie but the tremendous amount of action though!

It is the action that really made this movie. From start to finish it is full-blown action scenes! I love every scene in the movie because of that. If I had to pick just one favorite, I can't. The way it was filmed made you felt as if you were there too. You were running with fellow soldiers, you were on the helicopter as it was about to crash, you are dodging bullets and grenades, that is just as real the action felt. It really is the most realistic war scenes you will see. Very intense with blood and some gore. Some scenes made your felt what these soldiers went through out there. The combat scenes were defiantly feeling realistic! It will not disappoint! The story of course is set in a war in the 90s. They did a pretty decent job of giving that feeling of being there too. Not that much of an achievement because that wasn't that long ago from when this movie was released. Still good nonetheless though. The cinematography was great! Along with the artistic styling of the movie. It felt like a war movie or as if it was coming to life from the soldiers that went through that for real. The effects were on point too. That can be accounted for the great action we viewed. Plus the setting with the environment, props, vehicles, helicopters and costumes were good. Environment really stood out though! Must have been shot on location. The great host of cast members, I loved. Everyone on the cast has either been in a war or action movie! Good choices for this movie too. Good thing this movie was 2 hours because you just couldn't get enough of it! I wanted to watch more and more. A good dramatic war movie though because you felt their pain, sadness and anger too. What they were thinking and going through. They capture that beautifully!

Black Hawk Down made for a great dramatic action war movie! Probably the only war theme movie I can watch over and over! I loved it! Pure action, left and right, up and down. It had drama and some humor. Great scenes! Great cast. Truly entertaining and action packed from the start!
