Rough Cut Diamonds

Rating: 5/10 (4 June 2017)

I remember this movie from the 70s when Chuck Norris starred in it. Except he was going up river to rescue POWs. In this updated version it's Leo crying his way up river to get a diamond. It's just run-of-the-mill American violence pr-n, dressed up with some political platitudes. Nothing original. Nothing revealing. No real people. Lots of pointless gun-play. Slick and empty just like The Quick and the Dead, another of Ed Zwick's efforts. It's got Leo crying a few times. He's basically the male Meryl Streep. Over-rated as an actor. Always bawling.
