Additional InformationSet in Sierra Leone, BLOOD DIAMOND explores the role of diamond trading in the African civil war of the late 1990s. Narrowly escaping death when his village is invaded by Revolutionary United Front (RUF) militia, fisherman Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) is enslaved at a diamond mine and has his family taken away from him. When he discovers an unusually large stone he buries it, knowing it might be his only means of retrieving his family. While Vandy is imprisoned, white African diamond smuggler Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) overhears an angry RUF leader shouting at the farmer about the missing diamond. Seizing the opportunity, he gets Vandy out of jail, then offers to help find his family in return for half the stoneÆs worth. United by a common goal, the two men clash over drastically different values, but manage to stick together in pursuit of the prize. Meanwhile, Archer crosses paths with intrepid American journalist Maddie Bowen (Jennifer Connolly), whose obsession with uncovering the truth about conflict diamonds lands her in the middle of the bloody action. As the three embark on a dangerous journey filled with close calls, unlikely bonds form that threaten to change ArcherÆs unfeeling ways. Meanwhile, a subplot involving VandyÆs beloved son shows us the horror being done to and by child soldiers at the hands of the so-called freedom-fighting rebel forces. Addressing a serious subject with passion and skill, director Edward Zwick (THE LAST SAMURAI) delivers impressive action sequences that feel horrifically real without seeming excessive. While some critics have lambasted the film for its Hollywood elements, no one can argue against BLOOD DIAMOND's noble intentions or its stellar performances. To most viewers, the film is likely to provide a disturbing and educational insight into a world many know little about.
ReviewsSight & Sound - It is clear that the film-makers have done an enormous amount of research on their subject... Individual sequences--such as the massacre that opens the movie--are staged in bravura but chilling fashion, New York Times - DiCaprio plays the smuggler as the scum he is... A character who has inspired the most fully sustained performance of his adult life, Total Film - Crammed full of exhilarating set-pieces and panoramic photography, it also included the DiCaprio role most likely to snag Best Actor..., Box Office - DiCaprio commands the heavy attention of a performer comfortable in his own actorly skin, Ebert & Roeper - One of the best movies of the year

A Good Movie
I personally liked this film. It was nice to watch how Leonardo DiCaprio Character changed from being very selfish to show kindness. This film captures the chaos & brutal destruction of Civil War. Humans cruelly slaughtered, young boys cruelly snatched & forced to become soldiers.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good entertainment with a moral subject
Excellent, conjures up war-torn Africa very well. Characters are well drawn and 3-dimensional. Fast paced action. Not for the squeamish perhaps, as a lot of violence, including child soldiersVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

World Poltics made dgestible, but not less important
Very briefly about this film, for a 'Hollywood-style' piece this manages well to show dynamics worldwide that you did not know about before you watched this film. You will remember it a long time after. Thus, I bought it as a present to a colleague.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
