	DVD REVIEW: "BLACK HAWK DOWN"
		Now along comes "Black Hawk Down," a riveting picture that continues the new tradition of graphic, first-person realism and some questioning of politics, although clearly not to the point of its Vietnam-based predecessors and certainly not attempting to belittle, diminish or satirize a true event.
		Based on Mark Bowden's 1999 work "Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War," the film focuses on the real-life, 18-hour drama that unfolded in October 1993 in the city of Mogadishu, Somalia.

		Many comparisons have been made with "Private Ryan", and "Black Hawk Down" has been critised for being "Americanised", but as it portrays young Americans at war, and challenges the notion of America as the "world's policeman", this is not misplaced.
		However, Black Hawk Down really manages to show how terrible war is, yet just as you're thinking 'how can these men do this?' one of the characters answers this question and thus there is a definite theme of loyalty and camaraderie in this film.
		Primarily, Black Hawk Down is an action/war film, but secondly it is a tragedy suited for both those who wish to absorb themselves in brilliantly shot action scenes and those who wish to be emotionally moved.
