A Movie with a Message

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2006)

Finally, a well acted and greatly portrayed film that delivers a message. The film Blood Diamond is touching and inspirational tale about Danny Archer and Solomon Vandy. Danny is mercenary. Solomon is a fisherman. After escaping the clutches of the R.U.F. Solomon teams up with Danny to find his family and to retrieve the pink diamond he hid. Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou deliver stellar performances at Oscar worthy levels. Blood Diamond is one of the most exceptional movies of the year and portrays the the hardships of African cultures and societies due to rebel uprisings, government corruption, citizen exploitation, and the discovery of new and valuable resources. Informative and entertaining, this is definitely one of the best films of the year.
