The perfect action movie

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2007)

In all my years of watching action movies, they all seem to have one thing missing. Explosions, gunfire, death, plots, compelling characters, too much clichéd dialogue, etc... But nothing can compare to this movie.
Blood Diamond is full of explosions and nonstop gunfire. There's enough blood to keep the sick vampyric people satisfied, (like myself) a very compelling story that almost seems like it happened once, and of course, the characters. None of them said anything all that clichéd, and Leo's performance is SPECTACULAR. As in, this was his best role yet. (In my opinion) Djimon Hounsou is also great, Jennifer Connelly was breath-taking, in both acting and looks. Not to mention, FINALLY, nothing was random. As in everything made sense. Ever seen those action movies where crap happens and there's no explanation why it happened? Like all of a sudden, a building explodes or a zombie just comes out and eats a person out of nowhere or a vampire was just stabbed - right there? If so, Blood Diamond decided to rebel against those clichés and made something awesome. I applaud everyone involved in this movie.
9.99/10
