Netflix is sending: Black Hawk Down

Missed this flick in the the theater, but 'word on the street' is that it is better than one might think. We'll see. Slightly skeptical, since so much of Hollywood war is right wing propaganda.

Based on a true story. When U.S. Rangers and an elite Delta Force team attempt to kidnap two underlings of a Somali warlord, their Black Hawk helicopters are shot down. Facing intense fighting from the militia on the ground, the Americans suffer heavy casualties. Director Ridley Scott (Gladiator) captures the brutal and incessant battle scenes with powerful and intimidating framework and pace.
