Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2019)

Blood Diamond is a war thriller movie directed by Edward Zwick and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou.
The movie depicts the story of Sierra Leone Civil War diamonds in the mines of the country and struggle of people.
The acting by all the characters is fabulous and the screenplay is great. The war scenes and the ruthlessness of the rebels is been depicted very accurately. Also it depicts many clashes between the government and rebels that shows the collateral damage of any war.
The movie also emphasis the true nature of different characters as for one a stone is the most important part, for someone else a story in a magazine and for third character his child and his family.
The movie also highlighted the plight of African countries sales of diamonds in America which is close to $38 billion and emphasises that the resources of the developing nations are exploited just for the sake of someone' Vanity.
The movie is not only engaging but also thought provoking about lots of issues which we don't even think for a micro second.
A good movie backed by solid performance by all the characters.
