Puts things in perspective...

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2015)

First off, ignoring the Hollywood-ish tone to this movie, this is truly based on events that happened and are still happening every day. I'm a born American, but there is something about movies like this, hotel Rwanda, Tears of the Sun etc that really move me. Anything dealing with a genocide is hard to stomach.
On a more positive note, this is by far Leonardo DiCaprios best performance in his illustrious career. His character is very intriguing and his accent is on point, and magnetic. I really do not know how he did not win the Oscar that year, losing to an inferior actor in forest Whitaker. Maybe one day Leo...
Djimon Honsou is also electrifying in his supporting role, and his emotions moved me as they did in Amistad.
Brilliant movie here and great direction, must see!
