Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader
I also don't know how well this 2001 drama represents the events of October 3 and 4, 1993, though I can see that it represents them in a realist vein, referring to other war movies without becoming frivolous.

Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
Black Hawk Down makes that point without preachment, in precise and pitiless imagery. And for that reason alone it takes its place on the very short list of the unforgettable movies about war and its ineradicable and immeasurable costs.
-
Todd McCarthy, Variety
A relentless immersion in combat strikingly realized but none too pleasurable to sit through.
-
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
A first-rate war movie that presents its subject so horrifyingly well that it doesn't need to probe or preach.
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
[D]efinitely worth seeing for those amazing battle sequences.
