High Quality!

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2009)

Blood Diamond is about a war in Sera Leon and the murder of the locals for the acquisition of diamonds. The criminals here brutally use their own as slaves to harvest the minerals that will make them rich. It also highlights the greed and manipulation that characterizes the international diamond market. The characters are well developed and there are very strong acting performances, especially Leornard DiCaprio and Jennifer Connelly. The film really makes memorable points about how money corrupts. Child soldiers, gangsta rap, and human rights violations are portrayed with realism and great effect to convey the theme in creative ways. This film will stay with you for a long time! It is very well constructed story and Director Edward Zwick deserved a Oscar nomination for it. Very well done!
