Review of Black Hawk Down (2001) by Jon M — 08 Dec 2012
No amount of character development here, and the films gives just as little room for understanding both the Somalis or the conflict, but technical virtuosity and a timely subtext put it above the standard action film.
Its depictions of warfare are the most visceral put on screen since "Saving Private Ryan" (to which it owes much). You certainly won't fall asleep to it.
