War. Action In October, 1993, an elite group of U.S. soldiers landed in Somalia to capture two officers from the Somali warlord. They were lowered by Black Hawk helicopters which were then shot down by Somalian forces. The soldiers fought and it was one of the most intense fights since the Vietnam War.

	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A triumph for Scott and a war film of prodigious power"	POS
United States	Jonathan Foreman New York Post	"A beautifully filmed, scrupulously authentic but strangely evasive exercise in combat ultra-realism."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A post-modern Zulu Dawn - with higher cheekbones (...) the whole film is a 135-minute action sequence. So it's never boring exactly"	NEU
United States	Bob Graham SFGATE	"An exceptional accomplishment"	POS
