Escape from Mogadishu

It was entertaining, and I got to learn a little bit about history as well. While it was predictable in parts, I still enjoyed the chase scenes and the drama. The acting and music was pretty well done. Turns out, the movie was filmed in Morocco, and not in Somalia, for obvious reasons. So, they had to create an elaborate set and making a movie of this scale, with these many people involved must not have been easy.

The only gripe I have is the that moviemakers seriously need to rethink how they use "Bullets flying everywhere" part. It's 2021! 10s of people firing 100s of bullets out in the open and the bad guys really THAT incompetent? This plot convenience makes me roll my eyes every time, but oh well.

Overall, the story is about humanity and how we must put our differences aside and help each other out. It's nothing mind-blowing, but it's worth your 2 hours if you can look past the bullets flying everywhere. Easier said than done, as the movie shows. If you enjoyed movies like Argo, you might want to watch this one.

This movie is South Korea's entry for the Best International Picture at the Oscars 2022. - Not sure if it'll make it to the shortlist, but lets see.
