black hawk down be definitely the bad ridley scott film and for many reason . some be on the acting side and some on the technical aspect and others on direction and so on . black hawk down though be only colourful in it rich choreography and which to me be what doesn not completely destroy the film and but only support it on it last legs . the act isn not so good and clearly show especially when the film be watch numerous time . and the funny thing be and that it have a heck of a lot of strong actor for each role but they do not shine . on direction term i think that it isn not scotts best and show u that he isn not capable of direct a well balanced war film . the main issue though be the excessive amount of action that and to me isn not that bad but when it take over the basis and substance of the story it become quite hard to continue watch . black hawk down be a big disappointment and reveals scott weak side to direct a memorable war film .
