Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
His is a triumph of pure filmmaking, a pitiless, unrelenting, no-excuses war movie so thoroughly convincing it's frequently difficult to believe it is a staged re-creation.

Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
Absolutely harrowing, shocking in its sudden revelatory immediacy, and very, very well done, Black Hawk Down is one of the best depictions of the outright lunacy inherent to battle I have ever seen.

Miami Herald - Rene Rodriguez
An overwhelmingly tactile experience. Scott brings you so close into the action, the grit and smoke and blood seem to spill off the screen and into your head.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
One hell of a ride. For better or for worse, it will leave you stunned and reeling.

Baltimore Sun - Michael Sragow
Black Hawk Down, in the end, is a docudrama. But it's sensationally well done, and it opens up a battlefield that needed to be documented.
