A film which justifies the existence of the industry, even if nothing else did.

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2007)

The breathtaking intensity of this film sweeps one through it's true life story at such a pace and with such punch that one is stunned by all that unfolds.
Watching this film should make you think deeply about your own ability to retain your head (literally & figuratively)& what principles you may now believe are important while they're not endangering your life, while the world around becomes a savage & bestial hell. Watch this with friends, you'll have a lot to discuss and visit wikipedia afterwards & donate to Paul Rusesabagina's charity's website which helps the victims of what you'll see. If you can't be bothered to do this much after watching this film, ask yourself, what kind of person you are at heart or if you'd have an atom of the strength of this incredible man; an unsung hero of our times that dwarfs heroes of our past & present. Though a hard hitting film it does not make you suffer or feel distraught, it totally engages & inspires. If anyone doesn't get something from this film, then they are truly lacking in every way that counts. You will never forget it, it will inspire you in times of crisis, as does it's hero Mr Paul Rusesabagina who should get the Nobel peace prize.
