Hard to watch but a good movie just the same

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2007)

My husband and I just saw this movie, Leonardo is great in his role. He has the accent down perfectly, not overdone at all. It's a hard film to watch and is upsetting when you know it's based on fact. Others were very good in their roles as well. At one point I felt it was going to go on for too long, but that wasn't the case. There is some beautiful scenery in the film and other parts of the film where your jaw drops at the sheer horror of what civil war does to a country and what greed does to us all. If you're at all squeamish it's probably best to avoid it altogether but we all must sit through the truth sometimes like it or not.
