YesAsia Editorial Description

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.

"...There may be no working director more accomplished at wringing texture out of the color blue than the prodigious and now prolific Mr. Scott..." - Elvis, Mitchell (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 12/28/2001

"...BLACK HAWK's knockout photography, editing and sound are all state of the art..." - Mike, Clark (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 12/28/2001

"...A personal best for producer Jerry Bruckheimer, a triumph for Scott and a war film of prodigious power. You will be shaken..." - Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 01/31/2001

"...[The] images have a raw, vital quality that heightens the urgent, you-are-there quality of the action, and all the equipment, effects and military-related details are superb..." - Todd, McCarthy (Film Critic for Variety/ Directed VISIONS OF LIGHT (1992)), Variety, 12/10/2001

"...[Made] with immense technical skill and spectacular photography..." - Philip, Strick (Sight And Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 02/01/2002

"...Well-made..." - Wade, Major (Box Office Critic), Box Office, 03/01/2002

"...Gripping, incisive....An attempt to record as accurately as possible what it was like to be under fire on that mission..." - Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 03/31/2002

3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he aerial photography of Black Hawks sweeping across the coastline is stunning....Technically the film is excellent..." - David, Richardson (Ultimate DVD Critic), Ultimate DVD, 07/01/2007

It's simply great! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I'm not an action/war pic fan, but I love this film. The whole film's topic is interesting enough, as it's based on actual events. Not to mention, the sound and visual effects are excellent. The actors are of course not to be overlooked. Even though each of their screen time is short (except for Josh Hartnett), they helped to tell the story effectively. I especially like the "Coffee Guy" in the film, played by Ewan McGregor. The extra stuff on DVD is also great, as we can look into the behind-the-scene scenes of the pic there.
