This will be a gift for my 16 year old son so he hastn' received it yet. He loves Black Hawk Down and has watched a zillion times. I think it will be a hit.

I just recently saw this DVD for the first time and I am hooked! Move over Band of Brothers.
"A little to much blood and guts"

The movie it's self wasn't much and the quality of the Blu-ray was okay but, not impressive.
"Good Movie, great looking & sounding blu-ray."
If you like war movies, you will most likely have seen or own this movie already. If you like it on DVD you will really like it on blu-ray. Excellent picture and sound. If you think the price is right this is definitely worth picking up.
No actor stands out here; any variation in character or performance is masked by the uniforms, the nature of the action and its consequences on the men. Pretty much what infantry combat is all about, differences merged in a uniform terror, heroism, instinct for self preservation, incredible feats of bravery, and all submerged in the din and smoke of combat. One of the reasons for inequality of rewards for effort is that it is almost impossible to know who is doing what with whose help.
The flavor comes through in the film. Impressive is the fact that it conveys, knowingly, I assume, the confusion, the lack of accurate information, the unpredictability, the disjuncture between the orders of the highest level and the needs for behavior at the lowest levels where death, maiming and psychic distress are the natural outcomes of infantry combat.
If one steps back to look at the larger perspective within which this mission took place, you may form your own opinion about the event, the film, to a remarkable extent does not. Whatever ones broader view of the place this sort of action plays in the life of nations, one should remember that no period of human history has been free of such social behavior while the century just past may have set the record for sheer brutality and certainly did set the record for the number who fell as combatants in war, magnified partly because in modern warfare there is no longer a distinction between military and civilian when it comes to being killed and injured, only a distinction, increasingly blurred, between those who are killed and also kill, and those who are killed but do not kill others directly.
"Would be nice to have more source material in the extras"

Since "Black Hawk Down" is based on the real battle that transpired in Mogadishu in 1993 and those involved in the production sought to honor the memory of those who died in the incident, I think there wasn't enough source material included in the extras to better document the historical facts.
There were hours of coverage footage on CNN and other news channels on the battle itself and on the aftermath (such as General Garrison's testimony before a Congressional inquiry a few months later), and as far as I know the actual combat footage shot from helicopters overhead were not classified (Mark Bowden stated that he was able to see several hours of archival footage from the DoD on the incident, which included footage of the Rangers roping in, and the Delta operators moving to Wolcott's crash site from the target house).
It would be nice to have the historical source material to complement the movie (which for artistic purposes could not be totally faithful to how the incident transpired).
