Interesting Historical Look at African Diamonds

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2007)

I had the pleasure of watching this movie yesterday and found it to be interesting. The historical importance of this movie and the pursuit of diamonds was fascinating. I learned many things watching this movie, including how the illegal trade of diamonds was carried out and about the consequences of stealing diamonds from the mines. There are some very barbaric scenes, that help with the story telling. There are some action scenes, but for the most part the movie seemed a bit long and boring, my husband kept falling asleep while watching it, and we went to a matinée. I found the acting to be very well done, although I think that the fake accident Leo was using was foolish.. I would have enjoyed the movie more without it..
