I never thought I'd see the day where a movie that was portraying Somalia would be worse than "Blackhawk Down". This is an awful, and frankly borderline racist movie. They don't even use real somali actors. Are all black people the "same looking"? It's 2021, people know how Somalis and Other Africans look/differ. This is the equivalent of saying a Korean and Thai person sound the same. Take a note out of Captain Phillips and use real Somali actors. At least for Blackhawk down, it was before the internet boom, so people weren't as exposed or familiar with other languages. This is just pitiful and a mockery. You would briefly hear a couple somali words, but overall the actors portraying Somalis neither look or sound like Somali people. I'd give this a zero if I could.
