A daily comment from Midget Emma: Blood Diamond (2006)

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2008)

This will make you think about that big shiny rock on your finger. This reminded me of Tears of the Sun. It was set in the same place and had a similar feel to it. So if you liked Tears of the Sun then you might like this.
Great acting. A very surprising performance from Leonardo DiCaprio. He hasn't won as many awards as he should have. Something that might annoy some people is he accent in this movie. I liked it but some might not. Djimon Hounsou,who is one of the most underrated actors in movies today brought a intense and powerful performance. Jennifer Connelly was not bad but not good. It felt like she was there so it wasn't a total sausage fest. Kagiso Kuypers played Dia Vandy(Hounsou's son in the film)who was IMO the best performance in this movie. He has only been in one movie and he was excellent.
As i said before. It is like Tears of the Sun. Now i am not comparing the two(well maybe i am) but i have to say that Blood Diamond is better then Tears of the Sun.
This is one for you to see. It was great. I recommend.
8/10
