Blackhawk Down, based on the famous ill-fated attempt by US Army Rangers to capture a warlord in Mogadishu, is a stylish action driven film with characters who seem completely superfluous. Ridley Scott opts for a semi-documentary feel and captures well the claustrophobic horror of close quarters combat in a squalid urban setting. Rating: B+
