Wow, 2006 had some amazingly good movies, and I am happy to report Blood Diamond was one of them. Leonardo DiCaprio was really busy this year, with this and the equally good The Departed. Blood Diamond, despite what the trailer implies, is NOT an Indiana Jones adventure rip-off movie. It is actually a touching story about a man who's son was captured by an African rebel group known as the RUF, and that man's struggle to find him. He is helped by mercenary Danny Archer, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, who is only interested in finding a rare Blood Diamond that he can use to go to America. Some great action scenes, great acting, good direction and a very good ending combine to make one hell of a movie.
