Paul Rusesabagina is Oskar Schindler

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2005)

I rented Hotel Rwanda, with great expectations for this film. Getting an 8.5 on IMDb and with 3 nominations, who who wouldn't want to see it? After I watched the film, I was pleased with what I saw. Don Cheadle played a wonderful performance as Paul Rusesabagina which earned Cheadle an Oscar nomination. The whole film actually reminded me of Schindler's List. The film is almost an identical twin of Schindler's List. Paul Rusesabagina is an Oskar Schindler type person. There the same people. The only thing different them is that there from different countries and are a different race. That's it. Overall, I liked Hotel Rwanda and I wasn't disappointed with the movie at all. There was a few slow parts to the film and some disturbing images that some viewers shouldn't see, but still an extremely powerful and great delivered performances that keeps this movie on it's heels. I recommend Hotel Rwanda.
