Excellent flick

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2007)

Leonardo DiCaprio was stellar in his role as Danny Archer. His portrayal including accent was amazing. He continues to wow audiences with his variety of roles and characters. I enjoyed the sensibility of his character in balance with the harshness of the reality of the industry he was working for and the violence involved with it. Jennifer Connelly and the gentleman who played Soloman Vandy were excellent as well. Very powerful story which gave you a good understanding of the indecencies and struggle the people of Sierra Leone had to endure being at the mercy of the basically "mobsters" in the conflict diamond industry. The public should gain new awareness of the conflicts involving this industry and boycott conflict diamonds to show support for the people being suppressed by these powerful diamond magnets.
