"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." - Winston Churchill. Watch this movie and be thankful for those willing to put their life on the line for our freedom. This movie avoids dealing with the number of Somalis who die? I quote from the text that appears at the end of the movie: "1000 Somalis died and 19 Americans lost their lives in the conflict" The superb acting, amazing special effects, and true story combine to make one the greatest movies ever made.

Really good movie, but very violent.

this movie was very good it shows how brutal war really is but it VERY VERY GRAPHIC. For instance a man gets hit by an RPG and is literally blown in half and his guts are all over the place like they are spilled every where. there are alot of F bombs too. dont show this film to any kids that are not mature enough too watch this film.

This movie was probably the only one to make me actually want to turn it off, but i couldn't because it was so good. The violence is so disturbing and graphic that i would not reccommnd this for anyone under 15 or 16. Also the language is kinda bad but nothing your kids havent heard before.

good film but so not suitble 4 under 17 35 f-words

Great action war movie. Can be handled by teens who don't mind violence and language (all though much less than other war movies [maybe 13 "F" words]). The characters are loyal to each other by going back to save each other. There is one disturbing scene where men in a helicoptor (that went down) are fighting off the rebels and you slowly see the rebels advance to them and them eventually run out of ammo and hope. They are shot to death and thier bodies are carried out into the street.

This movie is a great movie and a must for fans of war movies and people who like movies based on actual events.I have read Mark Bowden's book along with watching the black hawk down documentary and I have to say that the movies gets it pretty close to the real thing.The only problem I had with the movie was that unlike the book you are unable to really understand what the soldiers are feeling and what not,but I still say that this is a good movie to see.Although the violence is quite graphic there is not a lot of it.depending on your tolerance for violence it shouldnt be a problem for anyone over 14 or 15.
