Note de kennez
After seeing this film, I was stunned at the bad reviews it has been given. One critic even said 'Rearrange your cupboards instead of seeing this movie'. Had he seen it?
I know the subject is a bit touchy at the moment, and I think it should have been straight to video, but that is no reason to give out bad reviews, and tell people not to see it. Remember that this was completed BEFORE September 11th.
Now on with the film. Big Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a Los Angeles fireman named Gordon 'Gordy' Brewer. On his way to pick up his wife and son, he witnesses a bomb going off, killing his family. He is questioned by the CIA (or FBI) and shown some photos of the person thought to be responsible, and remembers seeing this person just before the explosion. Brewer then sets off for Columbia, looking for revenge against the man that planted the bomb, Claudio "The Wolf" Perrini. Brewer gets caught by The Wolf, but his wife, played by Francesca Neri, agrees to help Brewer after learning that her husband is planning to plant another bomb, this time in Washington DC. Brewer goes back to Washington, and manages to save the day, and is awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Some of the violence is quite brutal (the Mike Tyson scene for example), and the acting is not brilliant, but this is still quite a good movie. It was, however, missing a few things. First, it was missing Arnold's trademark one-liners. The only good line was near the end (The Wolf: 'When are you going to kill me?' Brewer:'Now!') and second, this is one of the very few Schwarzenegger movies where Arnold doesn't touch a gun.
Overall, a good movie, but a touchy subject. It also shows that Arnold is the undisputed king of action movies.
Don't listen to the critics, go and see for yourself
7/10

Black Hawk Down is one of the best war movies of all time, but the remarkable thing is that it is a TRUE story!
People complain that the visuals are wrong, or the lines that the actors say during the battle is laughable, but how do they know? Were they there? Granted, artistic licence has a part, but, by all accounts, this is a very real account of what happened in October 1993.
Those people that say they couldn't care less which characters died have not taken into account that it was real people that were killed, and the actors are just showing the audience what happened.
Anyway, back to the film. This is about a mission that I would class as a successful failure (the objective was completed, but too many good men lost their lives for no reason at all). The whole movie was really tense, and, even though I had read the book before seeing this movie, I was really shocked at the way some of the Rangers were killed, and amazed at the courage of the two Delta snipers (Shughart and Gordon) who dropped in on their own to protect Durant's crash site against crowds of Somalies. No wonder these two men were awarded the Medal of Honor! The film, for its length of 144 minutes, was basically a 120 minute running battle, with 20 minutes of build up at the beginning.
The battle was well filmed, and, even though the characters were hard to tell at points, the script was good.
Sure, there were things missed out of the film that were in the book, such as the airdrop of ammo and IV bags, and Mike Durant being forced to make a video, but ultimately, these wouldn't have really made a difference to the film.
Don't believe these so-called 'professional' reviewers in newspapers. I read a review this morning where the reviewer kept talking about a film that was 10 minutes shorter than the real movie, and he mentioned things that were not in either the book or the movie.
I recommend that you make up your own mind about this movie, but don't go to see it is you don't like too much blood and gore. I give this film 10/10, and a place in my DVD collection when it comes out!

This is one of Arnold Schwazenegger's best movies (after the Terminator films), and one of the best Sci-Fi films of all time (after the Terminator series and Aliens).
The plot is quite simple, but the action is top notch stuff. The body count hits the rafters (more than Commando?) and Arnie kills some of the bad guys in rather gruesome ways. The special effects are good (for 1990), and the script is laced with Arnie's one-liners (such as killing his 'wife', played by Sharon Stone, after she tries to kill him, and saying 'Consider that a divorce")
All in all, one of the best Sci-Fi/Action movies around, and a must for any Schwazenegger fan. 4/5
