Amazon.com essential video:
Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down conveys the raw, chaotic urgency of ground-force battle in a worst-case scenario. With exacting detail, the film re-creates the American siege of the Somalian city of Mogadishu in October 1993, when a 45-minute mission turned into a 16-hour ordeal of bloody urban warfare. Helicopter-borne U.S. Rangers were assigned to capture key lieutenants of Somali warlord Muhammad Farrah Aidid, but when two Black Hawk choppers were felled by rocket-propelled grenades, the U.S. soldiers were forced to fend for themselves in the battle-torn streets of Mogadishu, attacked from all sides by armed Aidid supporters. Based on author Mark Bowden's bestselling account of the battle, Scott's riveting, action-packed film follows a sharp ensemble cast in some of the most authentic battle sequences ever filmed. The loss of 18 soldiers turned American opinion against further involvement in Somalia, but Black Hawk Down makes it clear that the men involved were undeniably heroic. --Jeff Shannon

- Action packed, emotionally charged, great movie!
I absolutely love this movie and the special features. It is action packed so there is never a lull, and it pulls on your heart-strings. It is a true story and for once, a movie actually got close to the truth. For some who were actually in Somalia serving our country, this movie may be a little hard to watch, my ex boyfriend could never watch this film because it was too realistic and brought back too many memories. But because it is realistic it is a great movie. I highly recommend this to anyone ... Read More
Rating: - The best war movies of all times, so far (2008). It's so real, bloody, brutal and intense
It's the best war movies of all times, so far (2008). It's so real, bloody, brutal and intense that I felt as if the battle was happenning right in front of me. If you want to see a movie that faithfully depicts the horror of war and courage. This is definitely the film to watch.
I've watched it 3 times. Each time, I shuddered at the graphic and realistic scenes. I own it.
Rating: - Great movie
Putting two great filmmakers together leads to a great movie. The story kind of doesn't really matter but the action and the point that the movie wants to get across are both well directed. Also this must be Josh Hartnett's best performance, and good performances from all involved.
Rating: - One of the best war movies
I have seen this movie numerous times, in cinema, on TV and now on Blu-ray. Because there are so many scenes that involve fighting at night and dawn, I knew it will be a good test to the Blu-ray DVD system I've just set up.It did not disappoint me.Sound effects and clarity are just great.Really enjoy the movie with such a reasonable price.The only downside is that the story is a bit depressive...but unfortunately that is something in real life that cannot be changed
Rating: - One of the best combat action movies in the history of cinema
Next to 'Saving Private Ryan' this is by far, the most combat-intensive movie I've ever seen. When the shooting starts, there's very little letup. Delta Sgt. 1st Class 'Hoot Gibson' (Eric Bana - Munich, Hulk, Lucky You, Troy) and Ranger 'SSgt. Matt Eversmann' (Josh Hartnett - Lucky Number Slevin, Sin City, The Black Dahlia) do "bang-up" jobs in this story of the bloody battle in "The Mog."
Great contributions from William Fitchner (HEAT, Invasion, Prison Break, The Dark Knight) as Delta ... Read More
