Never say die!

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2005)

Unbelievable account of events that happened in Rwanda. The atrocities that took place will take your breath away. One man's courage and desperation helped him save the lives of over a thousand people. Don Cheadle's performance is brilliant. Nick Nolte's performance is flat and dreary. Sophie Okonedo as the loving mother and wife is perfect. The scene where all the white people are boarding buses and leaving the Tutsis for sure massacre is compelling. When the Tutsis get on the phone to anyone they know that might help and manage to obtain exit visas hope prevails only to be thwarted when the UN trucks are surrounded by the rebels and must turn back and return to the hotel.
This is a must see movie.
