One of my favourites!

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2014)

This film is simply just excellent in so many ways. The setting (Sierra Leone) is picturesque but behind this beautiful natural living country lives lies upon lies and a bloody civil war continuing fatefully and showing no luck of stopping. Leonardo Di Caprio chance to both attempt bringing peace to the country with a photographer and journalist and make some earnings from the illegal diamond industry.
Blood Diamond takes you on a long story all starting when a local village father is taken to work in the diamond industry and given little no nothing to live off. In the end it is up to him and others to go on a journey to find his son and too a multi million dollar diamond.
This would have to be one of my favourites movies ever! I would definitely recommend it to anyone and as well as 'Hotel Rwanda' which in my mind is even better. The sound in this film was absolutely outstanding and both the characters and graphics were too simply brilliant. If it wants for Leonardo Di Caprio's stupid and pathetic accent that continued to change from Australian to South African to American to I don't even know what! Maby he wasn't the right character for the show but in saying this he did a 7.5-8.5 out of 10 for me. All this put a side I would give the film a 10 out of 10!!! What an amazing inspiring movie!
