Black Hawk Down

Premise
A group of U.S. soldiers fend for themselves after their helicopter is shot down in civil warring Mogadishu, Somalia.

Who should watch
Anyone in the mood for realistic war movies.

Thoughts
The realistic action and nerve-wracking intensity were very well done.

My main problem with the film was that all the characters looked too much alike. I understand soldiers are supposed to be uniform, but I could never tell one character from another and thus I never sympathized with them. As they become covered in dirt and blood, it became even harder to distinguish.

What I would change
Gave some obvious differences between each soldier.
