Sensational Film Exposing "Forgotten" Global Issues

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2006)

This movie was in a word "phenomenal". Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou work so well together to bring a realistic and truly believable fictional story to life. The scenes are graphic and some are hard to swallow, however, the movie is beautifully paced and exposes just enough of each scene to leave the audience satisfied but not engrossed. This is the type of film to stay with you for days and really makes you appreciate the little things in life we often take for granted. It also really makes you re-evaluate your priorities in life and think about how what you do can effect people thousands of miles away. One of the best movies I've seen! Go see it if you haven't already!
