Ridley Scott and his team have recreated combat as realistically as any film ever. A first-rate war movie that presents its subject so horrifyingly well that it doesn't need to probe or preach. While other great war films depict warfare at its worst, they do not depict warfare in modernity. There isn't a better representation of war, with all of its urban complexities, than Black Hawk Down. IMO, it's one of the best ensemble cast performances of all time from A-list to B-list actors.
