The struggles of a people presented for those that their bloodshed serves.

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2007)

By far one of the greatest action movies that has been made in the past few years, with enough time dedicated to character as plot and destruction. At times the actors display true emotions, their tears or fears relayed directly to you as an audience and entice you further into the lives of those on screen. Although politically it is perhaps not as dramatic as 'Hotel Rwanda' or other African-based dramas of recent years, the picture offers you an insight into three genuine worlds that still exist today, throughout the planet with only names, plots and events changed. Not just an every-day blockbuster. This is a bit special. Di Caprio and Hounsou are magical.
