Blood Diamond (2006)

Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio (Danny Archer), Djimon Hounsou (Solomon Vandy), Jennifer Connelly (Maddy Bowen)
For complete info, see IMDb's Blood Diamond page.

Blood Diamond is definitely not your typical action/adventure movie. The story behind the movie is very moving. The conflict in Africa is depicted very well. The acting is amazing and the story is very well done. Blood Diamond is definitely not a movie for anyone who's looking for an uplifting or light movie. You have to be in the mood for a serious movie with depressing themes when you watch this film.

DiCaprio's accent slipped at a couple points, which bothered me. He shouldn't have been nominated for best actor for his role in Blood Diamond. He did much better in The Departed.

If you missed Blood Diamond in theatres, it's definitely worth renting when you're ready for a serious movie.

Grade: B
