Ridley Scott directs Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor and Eric Bana in this modern war movie recreating the siege fought by U.S. soldiers in Mogadishu in October 1993.

For the first ninety minutes this is some of the most intense and relentless filmmaking of its time. Vibes more like a Tony than a Ridley. The final act is very repetitive and fumbles that tension and energy. It is a story where character or context does need to emerge. Instead we get even more faceless hordes overpowering nice clean cut boys. Wearying.
