An eye opener for a crazy world

Rating: 7/10 (22 June 2007)

With reviews hailing this title as an African "Schindler's List", i gave this movie a go, expecting it to be very good.
It was good, but not very good, and not excellent. Perhaps it was too hard comparing a movie like this to Schindler's List. Either way, do not get me wrong. It is still a compelling tale as one man struggles to save some 1300 refugees during the Rwandan genocide. I was impressed with Don Cheadle's portrayal of Paul Rusesabagina, which demonstrated his versatility of an actor, having recently seen him in movies such as Crash and Traffic. Worth seeing to gain a perspective? Yes. Just not that well of a movie made as it could have been in my opinion.
