Phenomenal Film...MUST SEE!!

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2005)

I thought this film was fantastic. The directing wasn't perfect, but it was good enough. I like the script because it educated you about the conflict and provided some history to the two tribes. The background information made the movie all the more real, and put you in the middle of the situation. The only real weakness I saw was Nick Noltes performance as the conflicted general who was witnessing the atrocities but couldn't do anything about it. HIs performance was a bit clichÃ©. This movie may not have been technically perfect, but no movie has made me feel like this movie did, in a long time. And isn't that the point of a movie. To stir up emotion, to put you right there in the middle of the situation. This movie did that. And for that, I would give it best picture. Moroever, this is a topic that went ignored in the news media, therefore the American public is very uneducated about the situation. Everyone knows that horrible things that happened in the Holocaust; but, the fact that no one knows about the million lives that were lost right under out noses, makes this movie the MUST SEE and BEST movie of the year.
