Review

Group of American soldiers wants to capture somalian war leader and his closest persons in Mogadishu. They have a plan where they go and capture those man and return back soon after that to their basement, but everyting goes wrong and many soldiers gets hurt and die since their attack causes much bigger resistance than they excepted.

In the end, was it a war worth fighting for and did anything really changed because of it? Should western countries even go and do antything on the wars what are not coming to their own country is a question what is a complicated subject and there is many opionions and viewpoints to this.

Anyway, this was a great war movie. It is well directed and there were lots of interesting camera usages. Also the audio was better than in many movies, at least the Dolby Atmos mix was made very well and it take advantage of the possibilities of Atmos soundspace.
