Format: DVD
As everybody now knows, Black Hawk Down is the true story of the Battle of Mogadishu, which took place in October 1993, when an American elite force carried out their mission (to abduct two lieutenants of the notorious Somalian warlord Mohammad Aidid) and ended up in the longest post Vietnam land battle involving American soldiers. During this ferocious gun battle 18 American soldiers were killed and 73 injured, whilst over 500 Somali gunmen also lost their lives.
Ridley Scott, hot off the heels of Gladiator, pulls no punches in his direction of this tragic fiasco, as he provides us with 135 minutes of ear shattering, stomach-churning, war is hell, all out action. There to the story is that American troops are on a peace-keeping mission trying to support the supply of food to the people of Somalia, who are being starved as a result of the local warlords commandeering all the Red Cross relief efforts. However, as is usually the case, their efforts are compromised by politics and they have to watch on helplessly as the Somalian guerrillas turn their guns own their own starving people. As a result, a plan is formulated by the army to enter the hostile capital of Mogidishu in broad daylight to abduct two of Mohammad Aidid's most senior aides. However, even before the mission can begin, the plan is hamstrung by Washington politicians who limit the mission's aerial support and firepower. And so the mission begins with the Delta Force and Rangers but everything starts to unravel when one of the helicopters involved in the mission, the said Black Hawk of the title, gets shot down in the middle of the city and the whole mission begins to tragically unravel.
Ridley Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer have provided a 135 minute deafening assault on the senses.

This is an excellent war film. Since Ridley Scott is involved the "look" is perfect; everything is under a glaring sun or stygian night, the place is alive with bullets, bodies, trash and decay. The music is marvellously moody with an African riff meeting a celtic response and a driving pace designed to lift your heart-beat. The cast are excellent once you've stopped wondering if everyone in the Rangers is British, Josh Hartnett really works hard at the role of the young NCO. Even when you think you've met a stereotype (Captain Steele) he turns out to have more layers. The film lacks the usual black and white moral quality of war films; the Somalis are portrayed as very brave people and even given a chance to explain their view, we, of course, root for our American chums but there's none of the third rate cartoon version of enemies that often occurs. It is almost non-stop action, giving one a good impression of what the real thing must have been like. Although it does not under-represent the blood and guts it is not (I think) a anti-war film; it is a hymn to innocence-cum-naivete and to bravery.

I'm sure that, if you have never watched this one, you'll have heard about it, the hype ? it's all true....this is one of the 'greats' in terms of war-movies.
It follows a raid by the 'U.S' to capture the infamous war lord who was over-seeing the misery of his own people in 'Somalia'
the raid, which is an account of true events, goes horribly wrong when a 'Black Hawk' is shot down.
This starts a chain of events which see's 'U'S' Ranger-units trying to get their comrades out of the danger zone, several units become pinned down as hundreds of heavily armed 'Somali's' attack.
It truely becomes a 'bloody'' affair.
The americans had entered the country in .an attempt to give the people stability, instead they walked into a hornets nest.
this is, truly, one of the best war films put onto the silver screen, with a countless number of convincing performances throughout the movie coupled with 'Great Picture and Sound Quality'
Great film to re-visit every now and then.

I put off watching this film for a while because I was worried that the violence and death would be too graphic.
This is a violent and graphic film but with good reason.
Ridley Scott has fashioned a highly accurate film that shows how mistakes can be made, soldiers fight and die and also the difficulty faced with any army fighting in an urban envronment.
Best watched with the sound up amazing effects bring every moment to life. Excellent performances show how trully harrowing this real life event must have been. Expect to have an opinion by the end of the film
It can be difficult to follow, the characters all have matching uniforms, but the plot is clearly shown in the set pieces.
The film tries to end on a high note but simply shows the true cost or war.
Excellent extras but the best ones are Ridley scott explaining which part of the film is completely accurate and which is fiction. And really shows how ture to life this film is.

Well, the film has been reviewed a lot already. A full on action movie that disturbs as much as it gets the adrenaline pounding, the US charge in gung-ho and things rapidly go bad. From there it is a downward spiral into disaster. Worth watching but don't think you are going to come away from the film with a smile on your face.

As for the quality of the blu-ray disc. The audio is very good, though not DTS, only 5.1 (and also uncompressed 5.1 - for which I need an HDMI connector on my amp which I don't have unfortunately)

The visual quality is good. The way the film is shot means that many of the scenes (most of them) are grainy, so frankly you are not going to get the benefit of HD in many of them. I can recall only a couple of scenes where I knew I was watching BluRay, the rest of the film could just as well have been an upscaled DVD. Having said that the colour palette was very rich and vibrant. I am surprised at a few of the reviews saying that this is a film to show off HD. It is good but not the best for HD I have seen.

I have a Sony D3500 40inch TV playing from a PS3 and have been wowed by other Blu Ray films, notably Starship Troopers (in the digitally rendered scenes).

Overall, a good, exciting but depressing film, with a good Blu Ray transfer. Worth getting if you don't have the film on DVD already.
