Great movie, I’ve seen it before. But I did not purchase this, my 1 yr old did :/

Well-written and intense, sharp and unafraid of being graphic. While I can’t speak to how realistic this movie really is, (my only extremely limited experience of military combat is due purely to war documentaries) it certainly does feel tight, tough, and visceral. Told mostly through following the intertwining personal experiences of certain key characters, it grabs your attention and keeps it straight to the end. Featuring a number of very familiar actors, the movie also heavily boosted through memorable performances be several well-knows stars.

There are a plethora of reviews of the movie, but my review is mostly a comparison of the BD vs DVD version.The DVD version was quite good, but the BD version is great. Its audio does not have the imaging of HBO’s Band of Brothers, but its still a good use of a wider sound stage with sound quality FAR above DVD.The BD transfer still has the grain and high contrast that was how the movie was shot. However, the details are far sharper and clearer, so many of the background elements have more detail given the higher quality of BD.The greater details make snafus much clearer: in the final scene of Durant’s downed chopper, the same assaulting Somali rebels are seen attacking and are killed twice in 2 separate attacks; in the end where Hartnett is reviewing fallen comrades in the morgue, one of the bodies starts moving his eyeballs; in many scenes direct lines of site are made with weapons pointing at targets and despite a hail of gunfire, nothing is hit nor bullets impact the area. Considering the marksmanship caliber of these troops, it was distracting. By contrast, in Saving Private Ryan, or Band of Brothers, a view through weapons was succeeded soon by the effect of fire hitting the area viewed.Disk extras are identical to the DVD version but there is a commentary track with some living veterans of the event. The veterans suggest events on almost every other scene is less true, but they do say that the spirit and most key events are true. For example, the Durant rescue i.

Its really hard not to love Black Hawk Down. Those movies that show bravery and heroism of individuals, even in a campaign where the goals can be morally questionable, are usually the best movies. It has truth to war and circumstance, and is an extremely well put-together movie. Some of the performances are a little shaky in my opinion, and some of the scenarios perhaps a slight bit too dramatized, but otherwise I love this movie in its entirety.As far as this particular 3-disc set goes, its completely flippin’ loaded with features, and interesting ones. The second disk is making-of, and includes lots of interviews with actors, their training sessions in preperation for their roles, the military’s involvement in the picture, and pretty much everything else you could think of from a behind-scenes perspective. Disc 3 is filled with a bit more of that, plus documentairies and specials on the actual events that took place in Mogadishu, including historical experts and featurettes.I wont lie, I got this set as an indulgence, but you are really into war and movies and war movies, and want all the bonus features, get the set. Its worth the money.

I have seen this before on DVD. It is the same movie, of course, on Blu-ray, however the images are sharper and the sound seemed better. This story never ceases to interest me because, in part, I know someone who was on the ground there. Also, the foolhardiness of the mission never ceases to amaze me. As a veteran myself and a keen observer of military history, I can readily see the warts in the plan and the over-confidence by leadership which led to this incident. It is a story of bravery and professionalism but I wish it had never happened.

Black Hawk DownBased on Mark Bowden’s 1999 best selling nonfiction book, Black Hawk Down is a gritty, sometimes harrowing account of the bloody firefight between 150 Army Rangers and Delta Force commandos against literally thousands of Somali militia members in the streets of Mogadishu.Producer Jerry Bruckheimer (The Rock, Top Gun) and director Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator), working from an adapted screenplay Ken Nolan, vividly recreate the confusion and violence of modern urban warfare in stark, often very graphic detail rivaled perhaps only by Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan. It is, after all, a depiction of what was, until the current conflict in Iraq, the most sustained and bloody firefight in U.S. Army history since the Vietnam War.Like Bowden’s book of the same name, Black Hawk Down focuses on the events of October 3, 1993, when a combined force of Army Rangers and Delta Force operatives were sent into a hostile section of Mogadishu, Somalia. Their mission, to capture two of warlord Mohammad Farah Aidid’s top lieutenants in an attempt to weaken Aidid’s grip on the war-torn capital.Whereas the book gives a great deal of information about Somalia’s post-1991 civil war, the famine that resulted from the strife between rival clans (of which Aidid’s was the most dominant), and the (first) Bush Administration’s intervention in the form of Operation Restore Hope, the film does this in graphic shorthand with a series of “cards” summarizing what led to the events of Oct.

To 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 ho.

Excellent adaptation of Mark Bowden book. Beautifully filmed and well acted. Takes you into the situation seamlessly and brilliantly. Can be "gruesome" but that goes with the subject matter. Excellent film-making–from script to direction, from photography to sound effects.Really puts you into the action and creates visceral ID with the plot which is based on actual events.

Chilling, extraordinary close to documentary of the infamous event. Truthful to Mark Bowden’s book, great performances by an all star cast. Gut wrenching at times, but that’s the way it was, really conveys what was happening right there with the men involved. Even though you know how it turned out, it’s still a nail-biter. So good, I bought the dvd for my collection. Very important piece of US Military History.
