What a wild ride!!!

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2006)

Don Cheadle dominates this thriller!!! it is true storytelling at its best. Cheadle's acting is absolutely flawless, per usual. The writing is very realistic and the story is heart-wrenching.
it takes place in Rowanda during the Tutsi/ Hutu civil war. the Tutsi minority are discriminated against and victimized by the Hutu. the character Cheadle plays is normal, everyday hotel manager, who is put in an interesting position where he becomes able to help the Tutsi. i don't want to give it away but this movie is great and it sends a strong, anti-genocide message.
this movie was one of my favorites of 2004!
