Black Hawk Down (2001)
Black Hawk Downis relentless. As soon as the soldiers are stranded in Mogadishu, director Ridley Scott never lets you breathe due to its breakneck pace. Pinned down in enemy territory after their helicopters are shot down, the U.S. soldiers must survive long enough for reinforcements to arrive.
The fact that this film took significant liberties to dramatize the events leaves a sour taste in my mouth. However, as a piece of filmmaking by one of our finest directors, it’s as visceral awar movieas you’ll ever see.
