Black Hawk Down - Leave No Man Behind

From The Director Of "Gladiator", Ridley Scott. This is a true story of a total CF when 123 elite U.S. soldiers drop into Somalia to capture two top lieutenants of a renegade warlord and find themselves in a desperate battle with a large force of heavily-armed Somalis.

This is a brutal movie. Realistic to a fault, like Saving Private Ryan. Makes you wonder how shit like this can happen.

I liked it. But I can only watch it once...
