Blood Diamond

2006 movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, about smuggled diamonds, war in Africa, and corrupt businesses. Decent score is by James Newton Howard.
==First watch (May 2019)==
Watched at the beginning of May 2019, during the Golden Week school holiday. I came across the score either on reddit or suggested on YouTube, and I liked it and noticed that it was composed by James Newton Howard who I love, so I watched the movie.
It was a watchable, dramatic movie, although it was a bit unbelievable at times. The main characters should have been shot and killed on several occasions, and although it was trying to portray a gritty, grim picture of humanity, it was really a story of heroes and inherently unrealistic in that regard.
Kinda reminded me of Apocalypto.
I enjoyed it though, and would recommend it if you want to watch a fairly long, grim, and interesting movie, about a real conflict.
