Oustanding Film

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2006)

When a film chills to the bone, it is easily among the best of the year, and that's exactly what this film did to me when I saw it: chilled me to the bone. It's rather disturbing that so many people have no idea what happened ten years ago in Rwanda. I know I knew limited things about it. I knew people had died horrible deaths and that's about it. Seeing this story unfold about one man who wants nothing more than for he and his family to survive is something that everyone needs to see. Don Cheadle is that man and his work here left me speechless. I say the same thing regarding Sophie Okonedo. They had such great chemistry together and when apart their acting chops were just as strong. Terry George has done a great thing by bringing this story to the public. We are so selfish and we take so much for granted. This movie will make you realize that and so much more. Best scene: Paul staying behind and not leaving with his family.
