Too close to the bone

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2007)

Bling bling, this film won't stop anybody buying it. But it might make them think a bit. Well, Leo is growing up into a better and better actor. His accent is good but slips a tad. Jennifer Connelly is believable and interesting, but really Djsou steals the film. He is so much more interesting than any African American would be playing the part, so much more without ego. The story is a tad too political, but the action, the scenery and the simple but affecting storyline and good cast carry all before them. See it and believe, the truth is much worse. No women were raped, there was no AIDS. No burning the land, no wanton killing of the wildlife. Diamonds are forever, but Africa? Not long now.
