Watched it at TGV Cinema at Toppen JB. The sound effects team for the movie... Terbaik lah.. Really felt like I was in the APC with all the bullets and RPG slamming into the armor... Adrenaline pumping from beginning to the end. Some part are funny like the joke about the PM being made between the actors... and guess who's the one in the joke? Lol..
And yes, more I understand about the Mission, it is like they were sent in with minimal intel, and from their route it is a suicide mission.
And it made me read more about the situation prior to the rescue mission by MALBATT. The US Forces (not UN) led a manhunt against Muhammad Farah Aidid and his lieutenents, in doing so they raided Abdi House killing many elders and prominent members of Farah Aidid's clan. This action by the American Soldiers infuriated the residents of Mogadishu, leading to the residents to fight against UNOSOM II. And when the American led rescue missions failed, they decided to ask MALBATT for assistance to rescue their Rangers from the down BlackHawks. The insult is that in the movie Black Hawk Down they did not give proper credit to MALBATT at all, but of course to drum up their Americanized Wayang version of the incident. And Official Recognition for the incident was done in 2013, 20 years after the incident... https://www.astroawani.com/berita-malaysia/after-20-years-us-thanks-malaysia-black-hawk-down-rescue-26947
Thank you Adrian Teh, team and the actors for bringing the actual version of what happened that night of Misi Baraaka. Al Fatihah to Corporal Mat Aznan Bin Awang.
Do stay till the end to watch the pictures of the actual MALBATT soldiers and all their names. We are not a Taxi.
