Not good, not bad...

Rating: 7/10 (3 September 2007)

I confess that clearly after I had watched "Hotel Rwanda" and "God of War", Blood Diamond didn't become attractive for me. The subject of it is a little different from thoses. In this film, a chaos between Sierra Leone's people is described like most of the African's country.
I think, the time of film was lengthened unnecesarrily and this condition gets me bored. But, Di Caprio plays very well his role that is a man who are working to gain something from the chaos. Also, Jennifer Connely became a good choice for the role of a journalist who does her best. His and her performance are also remarkable.
The song that played in background for the struggle scenes fits with the theme. Effects aren't so charming to me. Details and dialogs aren't worthy to talk about them. The film isn't so fluent and most of times are passing so boring. I wasn't curious about the end of the film.
Although there are such routine points about the film, it deserves seven point because it arouses interest the facts that happened in Sierra Leone.
