Tour De Force!

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2008)

This film is tremendous which is because of an inspired performance from the lead actor,Don Cheadle, and a brilliant director. The movie had me engrossed throughout.
A hotel manager in Rhwanda is caught in a tribal war and uses all his intelligence and ingenuity to try to save his family and a lot of other people from falling victims to a genocide.
How true the actual story is we will never know for sure but certainly the terrible events that happened in Rhwanda are factually correct as occurs in the African continent as a whole as indeed and other countries too. We are forever seeing film of Africans being exploited and starving and this picture highlights the evil of corruption and it seems to me that even where Aid is given to the starving millions the question needs to be addressed how much of it actually gets through to those it is intended for.
Nonetheless this is a sobering, moving and powerful drama:
9/10.
