OK action drama with Leonardo Dicaprio

Rating: 6/10 (24 March 2008)

I'm rethinking the decision to buy a nice diamond ring, or at the least thinking I better research the actual state of affairs with diamonds after seeing this one. It is pretty heart wrenching seeing those news stories brought to life in their tragic details, you thinking how worthless you are for worrying about the state of your bathroom when so many people are out there living through this. But still I did enjoy it as the good guys triumph, well at least the good guys we got to know did, many thousands of others didn't. Leonardo is pretty convincing as the hardened soldier who so needs someone to love him, the ending is overdone of course, if only it had been an English film we may have got a poetic ending befitting the subject of this film.
