- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025What a movie in 4k. I received the movie in mint condition and on time. Thank you.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2025Such a great movie. My love for this film has increased since I’ve heard multiple Special Forces guys say this is the most realistic war movie they have seen.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025This movie gave me chills and hit me right in the feels. Would watch again.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2024I have this on DVD but this one has the 4K+Blu-Ray+digital copy so I just had to have it. Probably one of the best movies in recent times and I've watched this probably 15 times already.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2002To start off with, before or after seeing the movie, reading the book would be a huge plus because the book is incredibly good. It may well fill in any gaps or questions that were not addressed in the movie. Seeing the movie after reading the book, It was very apparent that the movie followed the book very closely and was excellently done.
The movie does not delve into the politics of the U.S. in Somalia but it does give an introductory, although short, explanation why we were there and what we were trying to accomplish. Some reviewers have stated that we shouldn't have been there in the first place. Let's take a look - it was reported that 300,000 Somalian citizens had starved to death because their emergency food supplies (flown in by the U.S.) were taken away by Somalian warlords. The Somalian militias then attacked U.N. peacekeeping forces and rendered them just about useless. The United States was about the only nation left to go and render aid and assistance because no one else was going to do it. We had honest and just reasons to try to shut down the warlords and help a country that was harboring genocidal killers that were perpetrating vicious crimes against humanity.
Being in the military myself for 14 years now, I can relate to what goes through a soldiers mind and why we in the military are asked to do certain things that the average citizens of our country cannot always relate to. It's not easy to explain, but we in the military are very proud and rely on honor, integrity, teamwork, and pride. We work very hard to protect our country, other countries, and those in the world who cannot protect themselves and who need our help. This is just one of the reasons that makes America great.
In October of 1993, some 100 or so U.S. Military Forces comprised of the Army Rangers, Delta Force, and the Special Operations Aviation Regiment (S.O.A.R.) were tasked to extricate two key individuals in the warlord clan led by Mohammed Aidid to help stop the crimes against the Somalian people. This extrication was to take place in an extremely hostile area in the middle of the city of Mogadishu in broad daylight. According to initial planning, it was to be a 30 to 35 minute operation which ended up playing out to be a horrifying 16 to 18 hour ordeal. The reality at the onset was looking to be successful until two Blackhawk type helicopters were shot down using rocket propelled grenades (RPG's).
The U.S. soldiers were immediately thrown into an environment of total chaos being that the Somalian militias were very heavily armed and attacked from every section of the city. Adding to the misery was that hundreds, if not thousands of Somalian citizens had weapons also and relentlessly attacked our soldiers for hours on end without hesitation. The U.S. soldiers, taking many disastrous casualties and injuries of their own, secured both helicopter crash scenes, fought all the way through with almost unheard of courage and determination, brought all of their wounded and dead out that they could, and showed more bravery and resolve than could ever be asked of anyone.
Ridley Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer have long been involved in movies of non-stop action and heart pounding excitement. I don't see this movie as so much an action movie but compare it more to a documentary and an entirely realistic vision of what actually happened on that fateful day. I believe that the movie was exceptionally well made and showed exactly what needed to be showed. This was not a movie to be a forum for the politics of why we were there. The movie states why we were there and how the military was intimately involved. If there is anyone who questions our military or how good they really are or what sacrifices we have made in history for our country and other countries, this movie is indicative of why our country is the greatest with the greatest military. This is probably one of the 10 best war films ever made and I think it is important for U.S. citizens to really know what happened that day in Somalia to get a clear picture.
I couldn't give this review 5 stars because of the poor content of the DVD release. There are trailers for 2 movies but neither are for Black Hawk Down. Not good. There is no directors commentary and no worthwhile featurettes. Why? In the age of digital sound and video, we are seeing much more of DTS sound on large amounts of DVD releases. The 5.1 Dolby surround on this movie was excellent but DTS would have been sensational and they should have considered this when making the DVD. I have a reasonably good suspicion that they will re-release this DVD with a load of extra's in the future and possibly DTS sound. It may be worth the wait.
If you like war movies, especially those that are based on true events and very accurate, you will probably find Black Hawk Down to your liking. A small word of warning though. This movie depicts very graphic scenes of injuries and carnage and death. But, that is precisely how it should have been done so that the viewer can relate to what actually happened. I hope most of you will be able to appreciate this movie as much as I did.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2011This is the story of the disastrous raid in Mogadishu on October 3rd, 1993. (The battle lasted over to the next morning, meaning the soldiers were trapped with dwindling ammo, no food, and little if any water in that climate overnight.) Several of the men who participated in that battle served as advisors or extras on the film, which resulted in one Ranger getting his SAG card! There were a few teensy errors----a couple pieces of music on the soundtrack weren't released at the time, the Grisham book seen in one scene wasn't released in paperback at the time----but it did a very good job in displaying what real combat is like, without going too far in one direction or another, as civilians are wont to do when depicting soldiers. We either wind up getting shown as emotionless robots or overly emotional wrecks.
The raid was doomed from the beginning, as Colonel Bobby McKnight dryly points out. "Daytime, in the afternoon, when they're all (non-Amazon-approved expletive) up on khat, in the one part of the city where they can muster resistance at the drop of a hat? What's not to like?" (Paraphrased.) Soldiers pride themselves on their bearing, their self control, their strength, so there were a few scenes that were a little 'actorish' but not nearly as often as one finds them in other, less serious, movies. (It's easier, I suspect, to portray emotions than to first attain self control and portray controlled-emotions spilling out due to extreme conditions.)
The Army wanted to go in to get a bunch of Aidid henchmen, but their own lax security meant that the population was ready for them. One guy in the book mused on the various flaws in their security: the aircraft hanger they were in faced the city so anybody with binoculars could see when the troops started running around getting ready, plus it was protected only by Hescos by the chow hall, so all it would take was one suicide bomber at chow time and you'd take out a whole squad at least. There's one extremely low-key but chilling scene where the Blackhawks are flying into the city and a kid with an early-era cell phone holds it up to catch the sound of the rotars---and the soldiers think the kid is waving. By the time the choppers get to the target area, the tire fires are burning, funeral pyres for victims that still have a short while to live.
Two choppers down meant the mission lost the 'initiative', a term that has a lot of meaning for soldiers, some of it nearly superstitious. The personnel from the choppers had to be rescued, even if they were dead, but the fighting was so incredible that the bodies of Shughart and Gordon wound up getting left behind to be dragged through the streets. The bravery of Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart was given a matter-of-fact treatment that might have reduced the impact on civilians, but Sam Sheppard's dry, pained questioning of the two made it clear that they knew they were going to almost certain death. The film also captured what looked like realistic shooting; the Americans tended to pick their shots carefully, while the Somalians sprayed, which is what so many directors have so many characters do in far too many movies. In real life, sometimes one finds civilians get bribed to do this for fifty bucks and the emptying of a certain number of magazines.
The movie has an amazing cast of headliners in every role, from Sam Sheppard as General Garrison, to Jason Isaacs as Captain Steele. A couple of the REAL pilots from the battle flew the choppers, and some of the extras were portrayed by participants as well. (I noted with some amusement that the actors were put through a truncated version of one of the courses I took during my first enlistment!) When one thinks of what this movie would have been like in other hands, it's enough to make one cringe.
The high-powered cast makes the characters memorable, because battles don't leave a lot of room for lengthy speeches, and the only glitches---as I noted---are minor and mostly necessary to compress Mark Bowden's excellent book down into three hours. The score was instantly recognizable as one of Hans Zimmer's, and it's interesting to spot faces that Scott went on to use again, as he often does.
This review comes from one of the few times I've been able to watch the movie. Its accuracy can make it hard viewing for anybody who's gone through anything of the sort, while Hollywood tripe tends to be comfortingly entertaining thank to its very unreality. For civilians, this gives you a taste of what it's like.

Dambar65Reviewed in Italy on May 10, 20165.0 out of 5 stars Il Grande Cinema di Ridley Scott
Questo è un film di guerra veramente di altissimo livello, diretto splendidamente quasi con il "passo" di un documentario daun regista sempre all'altezza come Ridley Scott.
Il cast di attori è di altissimo livello ed è quasi divertente cercare di indovinarli tutti,sotto la loro divisa ed il loro casco, per quanti ce ne sono.
La storia è ispirata al fallito raid americano effettuato in Somalia a Mogadiscio e rivelatosi un bagno di sangue per i Marines ed i Rangers coinvolti, tanto da costringere il generale americano a richiedere l'aiuto delle forze dell'ONU per riportare indietro i soldati restati intrappolati in città.
Dal punto di vista tecnico veramente ottimi sia il comparto video che il comparto audio.
Nessun difetto particolare da segnalare nel video, poca grana nelle scene più buie e nient'altro.
Meglio ancora l'audio con un perfetto bilanciamento del parlato, dei rumori si sottofondo e di ambientazione e della colonna sonora; lavoro quasi perfetto, solo un po bassa la traccia base, ma il bilanciamento è fantastico
Nota di demerito soltanto per la pessima cover amaray in plastica.
Per i collezionisti consiglio la versione bellissima in SteelBook,artwork purissimo e senza scritte, un vero oggetto da collezione.
L'unica pecca è l'assenza di audio in italiano, ma basta comprare un edizione economica come questa, sostituire il disco ed il gioco è fatto.
Ottenete la migliore cover al mondo anche con disco in italiano.
Se non siete collezionisti , scordatevi queste ultime tre righe e tenetevi questa edizione economica.
Sperando di esservi stato utile auguro a tutti un ottimo acquisto ed una splendida visione
