This film is Bays best in years, and not one tacky transforming vehicle in sight due to being a true story. I bet the urge to put robots in this film bugged him throughout the making of it. Well worth a viewing if you enjoyed Black Hawk Down.

No mention of Hilary Clinton who was Secretary of State when this fiasco happened. So its strictly apolitical. Clearly this film is fiction. A cross between Blackhawk Down and Zulu; both much better films. But saying that the action scenes are entertaining as the male reviewers who gave it 4 or 5 stars will say. The fairer sex maybe less interested.

I have to say this really was a great film! Properly action packed all the way to the end! Shows a brutal portrayal of war, which is not always pretty but delivered in style! Charrecters believable and for those who criticise the movie I really don't know what calibre of film they aspire to but I would guess they don't rate anything particularly highly! Watch it you won't regret it!!
