It is an excellent movie. Although it was not filmed in Sierra Leone, it captures the reality of the country to a remarkable degree. There is a great deal of violence in this movie, but that violence is organic, realistic, fitting to what happened there. They even manage to convey the fact that the people are as astonished by this violence as we are; Sierra Leone used to be one of the safest countries in the world. The movie tells the facts about conflict diamonds quickly and accurately. DiCaprio's performance is impressive, certainly the best by him I've ever seen: he is totally believable as a white African. Jennifer Connelly's role is much smaller but she makes the most of it. Djiman Housou has enormous physical presence as the brave Mende fisherman. This movie just gets so many things right that the few places it departs from reality are entirely forgivable. I would heartily recommend this movie to everyone; it is the best Hollywood movie I've seen in years.Read full review
Excellent dvd. Just seemed to get better and better as it went on. Had a real political story to it as well in the way that third world economy is being used in order to supply the west with diamonds. Africans trade the diamonds to purchase arms and coerce young children into fighting and killing. Leonardo Di Caprio is excellent as the diamond trader. Tough but with a heart. Black actor from gladiator plays a moving role as father desperate to find his family and track down the diamond that he found and hid. Best dvd that I have watched for some time.
I don't know about the dvd as the buyer never sent it,just stole my money.It probably didn't help that Ebay had stopped his account but didn't bother to tell me though. I saw the film at the cinema & that was brilliant,a great storyline & great acting,especially by Dicaprio.
