Blood Diamond...

Rating: 7/10 (22 March 2012)

Not a bad movie here, though it sometimes overcomplicates itself with genres and subplots (but understandable, since the topic of blood diamond harvesting isn't exactly the most greatest topic to put bums in seats. Leonardo DiCaprio, sprouting a very odd South American Accent plays a mercer-nary looking to get a hold of a diamond that a escaped refugee knows the location of. They also are joined by a reporter, looking for her Big Story.. Oh, the refugee is also looking for his son, who's been captured by the Sierra Leone Army to be trained as a child soldier. So you know, PLENTY of plot here, all screaming Oscar. There's actually a lot more action in this one then I was expecting, and the whole thing is just a wee bit too long,
