Black Hawk Down [Blu-ray]

Can't miss out on this great movie that's packed with action on a blu-ray. super good picture quality.

Black Hawk Down is easily one of the best wat movies ever made. The war seqeunces are intense and hard to watch at times. But Ridley Scott has made a brilliant film with amazing cinematography and a fast paced film. Josh Hartnett really made his name in film in the lead role and I'm surpised he didn't get more action roles in the later years of his carrer.

This movie is simply excellent. The story it tells, while shaded from the true story told in the book of the same title, is still essentially true and gives us reason to be humbled and honored that men like these exist and are willing to do these things for us.

I already had the DVD version and bought the Blu Ray because I read a review that said it is even better. It is better, but not a lot. If you don't have the DVD version, get the Blu Ray. If you have the DVD, you don't need the Blu Ray.

This vdeo gives two views of the story from Somalia, Africa. The theatrical story, and the true story with interviews from the actual soldiers involved in the historic battle that claimed the lives of 19 US Soldiers. The book was written by Mark Bowen, of which the story is based on. The us Soldiers fought with honor and courage in a no win situation, in the middle of the city of Mogandishu, Somalia.

I am a huge special features junkie, so when I found out about this dvd I was jumping for joy! I love this movie and borrowed the standard version from my friend and was disappointed by the lack of special features. Here, there are deleted and extended scenes, behind the scenes footage, documentaries about the rangers that were there from the History Channel and more! It's simply fantastic! I would recommend this dvd for sure!
