Great story, bad film

Rating: 5/10 (14 January 2006)

I was pretty disappointed. I read a lot about Rwanda genocide and was really curious, how did the show it in this film. The story of one, brave man, that saved hundreds of people is really strong and breathtaking. All the actors are pretty good in it. And well done screenplay. Unfortunately, the film itself was hard to watch for me, because the music is just terrible (MIDI keyboard orchestrations and irritating melodic motives), the work of camera and generally visual work is boring and amateurish. If they gave such strong story based on such dramatic political situation to better director and crew, they could have made second "Schindler's List" out of it. Watch it anyway just to get some informations about that ethnic conflict. 10 points for the story and actors. 0 for all the rest.
