The true story of the longest sustained battle involving American troops since the Vietnam War, an ill-fated humanitarian mission to Somalia on October 3, 1993. Cast: Josh Hartnett, Tom Sizemore, Eric Bana, Sam Shepard, Ewan McGregor. On October 3, 1993, Army Rangers and members of the elite Delta Force participated in a covert operation in Mogadishu, Somalia that went horribly wrong. Sent to abduct two lieutenants of a vicious Somali warlord, the soldiers found themselves surrounded by hostile militia. Two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down and many men lost their lives. Mark Bowden of the Philadelphia Inquirer told the story of the battle in his exhaustively researched, critically acclaimed book, BLACK HAWK DOWN, and filmmaker Ridley Scott (GLADIATOR) and screenwriter Ken Nolan have done an amazing job of bringing the dramatic story to the screen. Like Bowden's book, the film does not thoroughly examine the context of the conflict, but gives a detailed and intense blow-by-blow account of the fighting. The outstanding ensemble cast includes Josh Hartnett as a competent but nervous Ranger sergeant leading his first mission, Ewan McGregor as a "desk jockey" who excels when sent into combat, Eric Bana (THE INCREDIBLE HULK) as a cocky and enigmatic Delta, and Ron Eldard as a downed Black Hawk pilot. The violence of the film is brutal and nearly constant. Scott unflinchingly captures the chaos and mayhem of battle with tremendous visual finesse. Theatrical Release: DECEMBER 28, 2001 (NY/LA)

Black Hawk Down Movie Review  Simply a Great Movie !!!
This movie most accurately portrays modern combat in an urban enviroment. The story is real and was untold for years. If you want to know what fighting in a third world country is like this movie is a prime example. The true heroism and camaraderie that is shown in this movie exsists everyday in our military,buts seems to go unnoticed. Thank you Ridley Scott for doing it right and showing how mighty the american fighting man is.
I have watched this movie many times with my friends and it never gets old.
I highly reccomend this to anyone interested in military action and who want to really know how it is when the brass starts flying.

This review is for a different format.  Great war film!
Yes Yes Yes, so the story is simple but how much do you want to fictionalise in a non fiction documentary account of a terrible tragedy. Story aside the direction and in your face atrocity gives more than an adequate account that war is hell. Good acting, excellent direction and editing. DVD is good with many extras, great sound and crisp picture.

On the cusp of turning 30, XXXX has amassed a personal fortune, deftly avoiding the violence and ugliness so many others in his trade fall prey to by following a strict personal code defined by discretion and clean detachment from the products he sells. Just as XXXX is poised to cash in and get out, Jimmy Price (Kenneth Cranham), the top layer of this particular underworld cake, hands down two tasks: find Eddie Temple's (Michael Gambon) drug-addicted daughter, and unload a mass of ecstasy ...

| | District B13 Blu-ray (2006) Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled
Black Hawk Down review
$20.19
Both of the leads in the French action flick DISTRICT B13 practice parkour, a kind of urban gymnastics that looks a little like skateboarding without the skateboard, and the pleasure of this short frenetic film is watching the two lithe heroes leap through windows, run up walls, and jump off buildings. Like Jackie Chan, Cyril Raffaelli, and David Belle, both stuntmen-turned-leading-men perform their own acrobatic martial arts sans special effects or invisible wires, and the lo-fi fight sequences pack a gritty punch that is often missing in slick Hollywood fare.
The plot involves a futuristic France where the worst ghettos have been walled off from the rest of society, their schools shut down, and the police force evacuated. The people in power simply want to ignore the plight of the disenfranchised, but this becomes difficult to do when the most ...
