I’m a 38yr old retired Army Paratrooper/Intel Agent vet. I’m glad you all watched this older movie because it’s one of my favorites. 1:00:08 Sad thing is that this truly happened and they did parade the bodies of these soldiers around in the streets. In real life it looked way worse from photos and stuff I’ve seen. Of course the films aren’t 100% accurate and never will be but they did great on this. You always have a plan but the plan always goes out the window when bullets start flying and people start dropping. Yet I’m glad these movies are made so people can remember the stuff that goes on. War and going into battle sucks and leaves forever scars. I battle PTSD, body injuries, and depression everyday. The other bad thing is there’s way more way worse off than I am. I know it’s a movie but I’m glad you all reacted to it. My Gpa was also Special Forces and one of the Elite members of the Delta force which this movie shows members of. They are the elite of the elite. I would love for you all to do more. Maybe 1917, American Sniper, Saving Private Ryan etc. I’d say ‘A Band of Brothers ‘ which is the best Army show of all time but it’s allot of episodes. It’s amazing though. Anyways, thank you all again for letting me be a moderator for you guys. Gives me something to do and I enjoy it. 🫡🦾🙂 Also, thank you to my brothers and sisters who serve, and those that have served. Also to the family members who are with soldiers and support them. Seriously without my wife’s understanding throughout the yrs I’d be a mess. And there’s people that have gone through WAY worse than I. So thanks to those that go through those difficult situations. It’s not easy at all. 🫡 I know we all love to laugh which is great, but sometimes it’s good to reflect on what truly happens in the world. But hey things like KZbin help us escape reality which we should do sometimes as well. 🙂

This film is a dramatization of the book which was written about the true events of that mission. I served with some of the Delta guys. Quiet professionals is a great description of them. I hated Eric Bana's portrayal until I saw the BTS. His character was based off three soldiers in the book, and after seeing his interview about it, I respected his portrayal so much more. He tried his best to honor all three. THAT... is dedication.

[@alphaomega2117]

It's funny because the character is almost totally one soldier Master Sgt. John G. Macejunas - weirdly the film actually decided to change the ending a little - he did go back into the city to find Durant and the others but not in uniform and not with a weapon - he went in a pink polo shirt and chinos. Eversmann didn't go to the crash site that was actually the real Hoot and a few others and his character is the one thats mostly an amalgam of 3 people. Weirdly pretty much everything shown as being done by Hoot was actually done by Mace and most of what was shown as being done by Eversmann was done by Hoot. I understand the need to amalgamate some characters and I beleive that whilst Mace provided advice to the film he wasn't keen for his name to be used. The real Eversmann meanwhile was on the lost Convoy. Useless Trivia: The photo of Durant's family is actually Eric Bana's family.

[@danielchevere]

I watched this movie again a couple years ago after not watching it for a while at which point I realized just how stacked this cast was. I still hold it as one of the best casts in movie history.

[@reconsoldier135]

This movie came out a few months after I joined the army, we used to watch this in the barracks knowing we’d be deploying to some place similar in the near future. When I eventually made it to Baghdad I remember going out on our first patrol and hearing the mosques’ speakers open up with evening prayers, definitely sent chills down my spine. To answer your question this is the best performance by Josh Harnett, his second best is in The Faculty

[@whitediggity]

Same. The real guys came to visit us in basic training. Didn’t really appreciate it at the time but now I definitely do.

[@dak4465]

[@DoktorStrangelove]

re: Helicopters: The helicopters in the movie are from the 160th SOAR. Those Blackhawks are the real MH-60 special operations variant. The DoD cooperated with the production because it showed the US forces in a positive light, and the actual 160th provided the aircraft. Also, the actors trained with the actual units they portrayed.

[@waterbeauty85]

1:00:54 "Wilkie," TSgt. Timothy Wilkinson, was awarded the Air Force Cross (U.S. Air Force's second highest award for valor) for his life saving work under fire in Mogadishu. At one point in the battle, he had to run from one building to another get some bags of IV fluid (which he needed to keep a patient from going into hypovolemic shock) and then run back with the bags, all under a hail of Somali gunfire. Miraculously, Wilkinson managed to make the run without getting shot causing one Ranger said "God must REALLY love medics" and others to joke that the Somalis underestimated what a slow runner Wilkinson was and were firing too far ahead of him.

[@Ryan_Christopher]

I doubt you can competently lead any targets while you're high on Khot. Simple Nicotine is enough to throw off my aim so I had to stop smoking three days before qualifying on the range.

[@waterbeauty85]

Some reviews criticized Tom Sizemore for walking seemingly calmly while under fire, but the real Col. Danny McKnight forced himself to appear calm because he thought that if his young soldiers saw him showing fear, they would lose heart at a time when they needed to be focused and determined. As Thomas Pakenham told his fellow officers at the Battle of Gallipoli "Don't bother ducking. The men don't like it, and it does no good."

[@MzQTMcHotness]

I served with a dozen guys in the 10th Mountain who were the rescuing/reinforcing element during this battle. Their accounts are the stuff of storybooks. A few years after I head these stories, I was in the invasion of Iraq, and got my first taste of this kind of war. I can’t even tell most of the stories because it’s the stuff of storybooks.

[@boricuajoe]

I joined the Army a month after the events in Mogadishu. When I joined Special Operations many of the guys that took place in the operation were still around. This is one movie that anyone who has participated in combat can easily say that it is realistic. I still have hearing loss on my right ear because of shooting. Nice to see the Rejects take on a movie like this!

[@andrewzab83able]

Crazy to think that these are real events and the movie was based on a true story. As a vet I still can’t believe what we saw and went through, it’s like a dream everyday, and doesn’t seem real. Anyways I have hearing loss from my right ear after my time in the Army OIF as a Paratrooper because my M-16 and M-203 grenade launcher was fired from my right hand. When it’s fired it goes off right by your right ear. My wife hates it because I turn the TV up too loud and talk to loud 😂 . Yet she’s very understanding about it. Also, thank you Greg and John for letting me do a little work for you as a moderator. I appreciate it very much because at least it gives me a little purpose after leaving the military. Love talking Marvel and Movies with you all.

[@thedarkknight2221]

I cannot thank you enough for your service. I wanted to join the marines as a teenager but I couldn’t get in because of my asthma and ADHD. I wanted to join for the same reasons Eversmann (Hartnett) wanted to join. Not just to kill the enemy, but to save the innocent. To fight for those who can’t fight back. And to look out for my brothers and sisters in arms.

[@30AndHatingIt]

I heard guys who were in that battle say that people at that time (early 90’s) joined the military, and specifically special forces, to “free the oppressed”. That they truly believed in it. What we were trying to do in Somalia was the right thing.

18:34 When Colonel McKnight (Tom Seizemore's character) talks about "being f@cked up on khat", he's referring to the plant that somali militia chew on.

When they were loading up in the APCs to leave the crash site, an officer (can't remember his name) got the last space just as a young soldier ran up hoping to get in. When the soldier was told there was no room left for him, the officer saw the absolute fear on the man's face, and so he got out of the APC and let the soldier take his place. That officer's brave act of compassion convinced the soldier to reenlist, and the officer actually did manage to find a ride in another APC.

It's sad how much the events this film portrays have been forgotten within our society. Not only for the fact of what UN and U.S. forces did, but the atrocity inflicted on the Somali people. Something not really well explained in the film is the issue of the substance known as Khat. It is made mentioned of briefly as the CO's are being given the mission briefing in regard to the timetable of the operation. It was common for young men, especially in the militias to chew on a local weed substance that acted like a drug. Notably, it would stimulate the senses and increase traits of aggression and irrationality in the user. The time of day the mission took place was when most people using it would have been at the height of its effects and the Rangers were well aware of that fact. In essence, it was referred to as akin to throwing gasoline on a fire.

[@LockeNarshe]

Fun reaction! One cameo that most miss (myself included on the first watch) is that the medic trying to save Jamie (Smith) is Hugh Dancy (Law & Order lawyer that plays 'Nolan Price). It took a few re-watches for me to catch him in a certain pose that reminded me of his L&O role and it just clicked.

[@jjc5871]

You guys, everyone at Reel Rejects, should react to The First Medal of Honor Ever Recorded by Dan Schilling Books. It shows exactly what guys like this are capable of. Speaking of Dan Schilling, he actually fought in the Battle of Mogadishu. He was in the lead vehicle of one of the convoys during the operation, a convoy that had to return to base after running out of ammo. He spoke a bit about it on a podcast he did awhile back. He also saved some Navy SEALs at one point during that operation. He didn’t retire until 2016.

The book by Mark Bowden is well worth reading. It approaches it from a journalist's perspective and gets most everything from documented information and actual interviews with the soldiers themselves.

My personal fav war movie. Apparently the book starts off: "All was quiet, and then the Marines left." I'm not normally squeamish during messy parts, but that leg operation part always gets me. Also, as far as your question about Josh, would actually be a close one between this and 30 Days Of Night (with The Faculty in 3rd)

[@BlyatBlaster]

36:54 so Jason Isaacs plays an Army Ranger Colonel and William Fitchner is an Army CAG (but they call them Deltas in this). CAG (Combat Applications Group) is the Army’s Tier 1 SF group. Think like SEAL Team 6 but for the Army. Rangers are kind of a weird limbo SF group, they’re kinda SF but they’re kinda not. And a lot of times they’ll be deployed with SF groups as a supporting element. So Jason Isaacs has a weird vibe with the Delta guys, because he does technically outrank them, but they also aren’t under him because they’re SF and fall under a different command structure.

[@justtweety3629]

Hans Zimmer indeed did the score, and, the DOP was Slawomir Idziak. Just an EXCELLENT film, with a super-stacked cast, and, Scott's shot composition is just amazing. He is a master!

[@acereporter73]

Talk about an ensemble. The casting for this is insane for who you find in this one.

[@kyledooling5043]

Still to this day one of, if not the most intense movies. It is brilliantly done from top to bottom. One of the best.

[@jenny_lee_87]

I loved him on The Faculty

[@StardustandMadness]

Me too

[@jenny_lee_87]

@Stardust_and_Madness hopefully they react to it, if any of them hasn't seen it

[@StardustandMadness]

@@jenny_lee_87 that would be so fun to watch!

[@thenerdywave2007]

Great Reaction John and Andrew! This move is good! 👍

[@happycamper6298]

Scrolling past your reaction spurred me to watch this film before circling back. Watching the real footage of the aftermath on the evening news, back in the day, was horrifying enough to scare me away from this film when it was originally released. Thank you for another excellent reaction.

[@krystinspotted1504]

I remember watching this only once on dvd when it first came out as a teenager. I'll admit I had only watched it for Josh, Orlando, and Ewan. It's so funny to recognize everyone else now after the fact years and years later😂

[@nunuonroad9969]

I watched this movie as a kid and to this day it’s in my top 10 favourite movies of all time. Even as a kid this movie hit home, and it took me several watches to fully grasp everything that was going on. Amazing

[@BuckyBarnesNC]

This was an Army Ranger/SF/Delta Force mission. If anyone wants to know more about them, the mission, and what they carry I’ll leave a link. I’m a OIF Army vet and thought you may like to see it. Also, you all should watch the KZbin videos about the pilot and those that survived Black Hawk Down. Great interviews. www.hkins.fi/airsoft/operation-gothic-serpent-kits-us-army-ranger-and-1st-sfod-d/

[@Ramblinrabbit24]

I had a good friend growing up whose dad was a ranger in this battle. He was a nice dude but I remember being terrified of him. He just scared the shit out of me. I remember when I’d spend the night over there, my friend and I would get into his army stuff and put the camouflage makeup on our faces and go out in the lot behind his house with flashlights and play airsoft. Good memories.

[@st.elmogeorge5403]

Top Josh Harnett performance: 1. Blackhawk down 2. The Hit Man “Sin City” 3. Sheriff “30 days of night”.

[@Ηρακλης1985]

30 days of night one of his best performance. My favourite ♥️

[@st.elmogeorge5403]

@@Ηρακλης1985 I forgot about “Lucky number slevin” he was great in that too.

[@crazyman7671]

Theres a deleted scene with Eversman and the Strobe for the Little Bird gun run. They actually go for a 2nd strafing run before leaving and its pretty intense

[@mikeserot1410]

It was Shugart that called his wife. He was the second sniper killed at Crash Site 2. Mike Durant is the pilot looking at his wife and son (actually those are photos of Eric Bana's family). The strobes were used completely wrong. They were used to mark Ranger positions and anyone else was fair game for the Little Birds

[@donaldmacias4634]

The video in the command center was the actual footage from the battle. Captain Steele was my battalion XO when I served. He was a major then. He also played on the same football team as Hershel Walker. I think he was a tackle or tight end. You should also check out “13 Hours”. If you want to see what happened in Benghazi Libya.

[@40kedge]

I Can't remember who commented on the leadership role Hartnets'(sp) character took at a young age. That is the military. At 21 , as an E-4 , I ran a small boat crew in the Coast Guard. A multimillion dollar boat in my hands along with my crew of 18-20 yr olds. The weight upon which we place on young men is amazing. Yes.. PTSD... but for the life of me, I cannot think of better suited people to "handle it" at the time. Use to always say " man up, we have a job to do".

[@galleghost]

One of the most under appreciated and influential war films of recent memory. Great movie and glad you guys got to watch it!

[@WarriorPoet01]

So you need to see some war movies? Das Boot (Director’s Cut) A Bridge Too Far The Beast (1988) Master and Commander Cross of Iron No Man’s Land All Quiet on the Western Front (original, and recent German remake) 1917 And for a mix of combat and humor - Kelly’s Heroes

[@NitsujRelis]

I watched y'all's reaction to this and "We were Soldiers", it really seems like you understand the core of these war films. It's not just action and explosions...it's about the brotherhood of men who fight for their countrymen and for their brothers in arms. Some people watch or make war films without understanding this important aspect.

[@McPringle0]

13:06 Not sure exactly which horror sequel this may be from Andrew, but it's also featured in Full Metal Jacket

[@tysonthomas7094]

I've said this before and I'll say it now, this is one of the greatest war movies ever! So realistic, no fluff, all war! Ridley Scott is a freaking monster of a director!!!! I think he won Best Director too.

[@javix2013]

I recommend for your next reactions: 13 Hours, The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, is a very similar story.

[@DirtSpud]

This shit actually did happen so no sequel unfortunately. Also delta force is the most ELITE of the SF guys. Which is why Banner is doing his own thing most of the time. They are the most trained. So his "this is my safety" comment is true to character. They dont need a safety lol Also the two delta snipers who went in really did that. They knew they would die but demanded they be put down to help.

[@Cooolstorm]

The Faculty put Josh Hartnett on the map for me, but my favorite performance of his was in Sin City. He's so talented, definitely needs to be in more movies.

[@wolverineaquajock2]

I can never get over Eric Bana's GWBush in this movie. Its so consistent that its not distracting, but its just so.... Bushy

[@mobilegamer8922]

59:35, no that is not the guy that called his wife earlier in the move. The guy that called his wife is actually the second guy that was killed in defending him.

[@waterbeauty85]

51:41 One of the Rangers said that, during the run out of Mogadishu, he saw the little donkey lying dead on the road still tied to its wagon and it made him sad.

[@bobbyfischer9927]

This movie was a GIANT part of my childhood.. I love this film with all my heart

[@TheRavencommander]

Speaking of war movies, SERIOUSLY although a dramatization of real events, Behind enemy lines is an absolute gem that so few people have reacted to.

[@jameshaslegrave7989]

I was big Josh Harnett fan back in the day and is very glad at his recent comeback. But also while respected the fact that we just wanted to act and didn't want the limelight so kinda walked away for all those years, doing the odd film like Bunraku. His truly best performance, to me, was in "O" (2001 but shot in 1999) the modern day telling of Othello, directed by Tim Blake Nelson. The way his character, Hugo, can manipulate Mehki Phifer into believing what's going on with his girlfriend, Julia Stiles, is so convincing. Its just a great piece of acting.

[@waterbeauty85]

59:34 No. This is Mike Durant. Randy Shughart, the Delta sniper who died just before this scene, is the one who left the voice mail.
