I went to see this movie last night with my wife's 15 yo grandson. We sat through the first 45 minutes that lay the groundwork for the rest of the film and we kept wondering when it was going to get interesting. Then, the actual raid on Mogadishu took place and both of us were bored, yes bored, by the action. There weren't any interesting characters to care about or even decent dialogue. All it was was a documentary-like view of the incident. Unfortunately, that isn't what we paid to see. We were hoping for an entertaining movie but all we got was carnage. Maybe I missed the point of the movie but I didn't really have high expectations, just to be entertained, and this film doesn't.
