Leonardo DiCaprio has yet another great performance and great movie to add to his list.

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2007)

I've been waiting to see this movie now for some time, finally just got the chance and I wasn't disappointed. Not only a great Action/Drama but one that has a message that reveals things that especially us Americans overlooked these past few years. We are always so cozy with our own little petty problems and people just like the ones in the movie live in fear for their lives every day.
DiCaprio gives another remarkable performance, and surprisingly different type of character than I'm used to seeing him in. He was doing some remarkable accent work, and you don't need to take my word for it, since he got the Oscar nod for his role here. When we are all old and gray and praising the legendary actors of the industry DiCaprio will be a name among greats like Pacino and Nicholson mark my words.
Though as I spend all that time talking about Leo I shouldn't leave out Djimon Hounsou's performance either which is very emotional and touching as well in this movie.
If you haven't seen this yet, I really suggest you should. It's definitely worth the time. Just remember this isn't a "war movie" this is a movie that brings to life some of the horrors in Africa.
