The most gut wrenching film I've ever watched

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2004)

Don Cheadle should get an Academy Award for his role as the African hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina who single handedly saved over 1,000 people during the Hutu massacre of Tutu tribesmen in the mid-1990's. His accent, his emotions, his courage and integrity were impeccably executed. Sophie Okonedo, who played Rusesabagina's wife Tatiana, was also excellent.
The film seemed almost like a documentary at times (hand-held camera?) and crystallized the dilemma of man's inhumanity to man as only pictures can do.
Over 800,000 men, women, and children were slaughtered in a period of a few months. It made for tough watching. For those with a strong stomach, it is a film not to be missed.
