Re: Black Hawk DOES intrigue me a bit

It's graphic though not quite as graphic as SPR with out the preachiness and hollywood gumdrop wrapping that sandwiched SPR. It lacks the structural sense of stupidity of U571 wherin preposterousness is heaped upon ridiculousness. It lacks the specious subplots, brainless romantic storyline and downright silly rewriting of history to serve its purposes of Pearl Harbor.

It is very much the story of the battle - with little personal character development pretext or poitical subtext. If you can get into the soldier's preparations and a fairly literal playing out of a battle against hopeless odds its quite interesting. But be warned - lots of people getting shot and blow up - but not in the pure shock value SPR manner or Schwarznegger good guys never get hit sort of way either. But it is bloody so in that regard it is quite Hollywood. In other words it is graphic rather than suggestive...
