I'm Not A Movie Basher But This Movie Was Overrated

Rating: 7/10 (19 March 2007)

I'm not a movie basher but this movie was very mediocre. I don't really mind about it being PG-13 and not showing much of genocide and brutal killing (the movie only intention was to show about survival) but the story and the movie itself is very unemotional and flat. I feel so detach to it.
Synopsis: A hotel manager Paul was force to housed over thousands refugees as there were genocidal and unrest outside of the hotel.
The good part of this movie got to be it was quite entertaining to watch and there is something happen all the time. Plus I get to know the country Rwanda existed and thus have this entire problem. The sad part is when executed into the screenplay it wasn't that good and combine with really bad cinematography make this not such a good movie one hope to be. I guess if you watch it for fact it was fine but movie for movie sake it wasn't that good.
I got to say the whole film is very flat, though there are like two scenes that are quite moving but the rest was very ordinary and forgettable. The casting of Don Cheadle was a smart moves (otherwise this wouldn't close to be this famous), though he was the best in the movie his acting is barely average and the rest turn out quite bad specially Nick Nolte and Sophie Okonedo. The direction is average and nothing special and could have been much better. The score was all right too.
It was just an all right movie and that is all. I have the concept just because it was a true story and it is a drama people subconsciously think it is a good movie or saying that it was a good movie to make their taste look good on other people.
Recommendation: Yes, It Was Quite Entertaining. Worth Rental At The Most.
Reason To Watch: For The Facts.
Reason Not To: Bad Cinematography, Didn't Managed to Bring Out Enough Emotion As It Suppose To.
Rating: 6.5/10 (Grade: D).
