Film: Black Hawk Down (2001)

DVD: Anamorphic
Black Hawk Down

"That's right! You Americans don't smoke anymore. You live long, dull and uninteresting lives."

Review: A visceral movie that feels like an artificial-reality game that sucks you in and doesn't release you until the soldiers collapse exhausted in the stadium after running though half the city. It is not so much a story as an experience. Highly recommended!

Favorite Scene: Snipers protecting the downed Black Hawk

"Colonel! Colonel! They're shooting at us!"
"Well shoot back!"

3 1/2 out of 4 Stars
