Should have won best picture

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2005)

Simply outstanding. This movie should have won Best Picture. It's an incredibly moving film that can inspire you, horrify you, bring you to tears and also make you ashamed that you didn't do anything about it. Don Cheadle gives an incredible performance as Paul Rusesabagina, the hero of the story, a man who risked his own life to save the lives of over a thousand refugees. Paul was an incredible negotiator who always seemed to be able to negotiate his way out of any situation. That he risked his own life for so many others is inspirational.
The scene where all the whites left Rwanda was one of the most emotional scenes I've ever watched. 10/10
