Probably the Top Movie of 2006

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2006)

Blood Diamond is... well Bloody Great. Superb cinematography, a great story that's well written, a fantastic cast, incredible acting,and edge of your seat non-stop action. At first I was a little skeptical about Leonardo DiCaprio playing an ex African mercenary, I soon realized that he was very convincing in this role. While the movie has plenty of violence and brutality, it is central to this story. Thankfully there is enough pathos and some heart wrenching moments to balance the story. Enthralling is the best word I can think of to describe this motion picture, the one that I consider to be the Top Movie of 2006. This is Oscar worthy stuff and I for one hope they win a few, because they deserve to.
