Ridley Scott, director of “Gladiator,” fills the screen at least ninety percent of the time with violent and sometimes bloody battle scenes. Legs and arms go flying and a bloody leg wound gushes up close and personal. This is a war movie with a capital ‘W,’ and one won’t find much humor unless it’s the time a soldier forgets to install earplugs before firing a big gun. While viewers can be proud of the training and dedication shown by the American soldier, graphic violence, frequent obscenities and strong profanities fail to lift “Black Hawk Down.”
