Disappointed.......

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2007)

.......to say the least that this movie did not figure more prominently in the Oscars. By far Leonardo Di Caprio's finest performance, even down to the accent and use of South African phrases, which my wife remembers from her 27 years in SA. I have to agree with a previous reviewer, and say this is the finest film of the year. Although I have no complaints with the other successes at the awards. I am surprised that Djimon Hounsou did not receive recognition for his performance and thought he was the most 'sure thing' for an award since Benico Del Toro for Traffic. This film is a must for any person's DVD collection and is easily a certainty for my top 100 movies.
