Tragic recent history - Dignified film making!

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2005)

Wonderfully executed film with the budget it must have had...it definitely gave me a good account of the conflict and genocide through the characters eyes.
Don Cheadle performance had to be commended ...its was subtle and understated when he could of so easily overacted throughout. As were all the actors! He portrays a man, just a businessman, not too concerned about the politics who just wants to live in harmony, run his hotel and please his top clients. When conflict starts to intensify ...he shows his dignity, love, courage and effort to do what is right.
I love the way the director interjected burst of the Hutu radio propaganda ...and the vile venomous words of hatred being spewed out...urging the Hutus to massacre.
I cant see how this film could have been made much better. A tragic human story excellently covered. Highly recommended viewing.
