Good film, but needed some edit's for pacing

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2006)

Saw a sneak preview of Blood diamond yesterday, and I thought the movie served it's point, but it was a little slow in some places. The message that they were trying to get out was in your face and at times painful to watch. This movie kinda reminded me of Saving Private Ryan a bit, in that women will go see this film because of the star of the film, but the violence might deter some viewers from receiving the message. Digimon Hanzoo, as I like calling him was amazing. You could feel his pain through out the movie. Leonardo did a really good job, I'm not a huge fan of his, but he's starting to become the next Sean Penn in my opinion. I have always had problems with the diamond industry, and I have always tried to put across my message to women, but failed. I hope that this film might make some people understand the bloodshed that is spilled for a shinny rock.
