see i didnt mean it like that. the movie is structured so that a response like yours is produced - all the faceless blacks are portrayed as evil animalistic creatures hell bent on killing the heroic americans, who are supposedly trying to save them from themselves, when its really an infinitely more complicated situation.

it's tacky and disrespectful film making at it's worse

edit: for mizjay

LOL at the comparison between the Somalian civil war and S11.

For the record I thought it was a pretty poor movie. It was as if Ridley Scott tried to make the most boring movie he could with a giant budget and a lot of stunts.
