Rating: - Action packed, emotionally charged, great movie!
I absolutely love this movie and the special features. It is action packed so there is never a lull, and it pulls on your heart-strings. It is a true story and for once, a movie actually got close to the truth. For some who were actually in Somalia serving our country, this movie may be a little hard to watch, my ex boyfriend could never watch this film because it was too realistic and brought back too many memories. But because it is realistic it is a great movie. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes true stories, drama, and war movies.

Rating: - The best war movies of all times, so far (2008). It's so real, bloody, brutal and intense
It's the best war movies of all times, so far (2008). It's so real, bloody, brutal and intense that I felt as if the battle was happenning right in front of me. If you want to see a movie that faithfully depicts the horror of war and courage. This is definitely the film to watch.

I've watched it 3 times. Each time, I shuddered at the graphic and realistic scenes. I own it.

Rating: - Great movie
Putting two great filmmakers together leads to a great movie. The story kind of doesn't really matter but the action and the point that the movie wants to get across are both well directed. Also this must be Josh Hartnett's best performance, and good performances from all involved.

Rating: - One of the best war movies
I have seen this movie numerous times, in cinema, on TV and now on Blu-ray. Because there are so many scenes that involve fighting at night and dawn, I knew it will be a good test to the Blu-ray DVD system I've just set up. It did not disappoint me. Sound effects and clarity are just great. Really enjoy the movie with such a reasonable price. The only downside is that the story is a bit depressive...but unfortunately that is something in real life that cannot be changed

Rating: - One of the best combat action movies in the history of cinema
Next to 'Saving Private Ryan' this is by far, the most combat-intensive movie I've ever seen. When the shooting starts, there's very little letup. Delta Sgt. 1st Class 'Hoot Gibson' (Eric Bana - Munich, Hulk, Lucky You, Troy) and Ranger 'SSgt. Matt Eversmann' (Josh Hartnett - Lucky Number Slevin, Sin City, The Black Dahlia) do "bang-up" jobs in this story of the bloody battle in "The Mog."

Great contributions from William Fitchner (HEAT, Invasion, Prison Break, The Dark Knight) as Delta Sgt 1st Class Jeff Sanderson, Jason Isaacs (Resident Evil, Harry Potter, The State Within) as the by-the-book Ranger Capt. Mike Steele, and Tom Sizemore (HEAT, Saving Private Ryan, Bringing Out The Dead) as the rough and tough Ranger Lt. Col. Danny McKnight.

It never ceases to amaze me how so many foreign actors can easily imitate American accents in movies. Whereas, American actors hardly ever come through with convincing foreign accents. Case(s) in point: Ewan McGregor as Specialist Grimes, Jason Isaacs as Capt. Steele, Ewen Bremner as Spec. Sgt. Nelson, Orlando Bloom as Pvt. Todd Blackburn and Bana as Hoot. All handling their American accents with excellence during the entire movie. You just couldn't tell they are "foreigners."

The detail of the weaponry used was good; especially the Black Hawks with mini-guns and the "Little Birds" with mini-guns and 7-shot rocket pods. With the excepting of one screen shot from above the "Little Bird" gunships, showing a Huey instead. A few other script continuity miscues, but mostly unnoticed by the technically deficient (for want of a more descriptive term). As previously mentioned, literally non-stop action of all the units involved in this undertaking.

You'll notice future television stars such as Carmine Giovanazzo (CSI: NY) as Ranger Sgt. Goodale, Enrigue Murciano (Without A Trace) as Ranger Sgt. Ruiz and Nikolaj Coster Waldau (New Amsterdam) as Delta MSgt. Gary Gordon. And former T.V. star Ron Eldard (Men Behaving Badly) as CWO Mike Durant.
