Product DescriptionLeonardo DiCaprio puts a handsome face on an ugly industry: In parts of Africa, diamond mining fuels civil warfare, killing thousands of innocents and drafting preteen children as vicious soldiers. DiCaprio (The Departed) plays Danny Archer, a white African soldier-turned-diamond-smuggler who gets wind of a large raw jewel found by Solomon Vandy, a native fisherman (Djimon Hounsou, In America) recently escaped from enslavement by a brutal rebel leader. Archer offers a deal: He'll help Vandy find his war-scattered family if Vandy will share the diamond with him. Drawn into this web of exploitation is journalist Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly, Little Children), who agrees to help if Archer will tell her the details of how conflict diamonds make their way into the hands of the corporations who sell them to the Western world. DiCaprio is compelling because he never flinches from Archer's utter ruthlessness; Archer ends up doing the morally justifiable thing, but only because his desperate greed has led him to it. Hounsou and Connelly, though saddled with all the moral and political speeches, rise above the cant and keep the movie's treacherously formulaic plot rooted in human characters. But in the end, the story won't stick with you as much as the dead stillness in the child soldiers' eyes; the horror of African civil strife refuses to be contained by Blood Diamond's uplifting message--and the movie is all the more potent as a result. --Bret Fetzer Image GalleryClick on a thumbnail on the left to view a larger image on the right.

AMAZING Leo DeCaprio is truly astonishing in this film - his South African accent is very realistic and he takes on the character really effectively and succesfully. A complete 360 from Titanic!! A most enjoyable film for those interested in the particular genre. There are some scenes which can be disturbing but this is only expected due to the content of the film. This is a must see! Definitely 10/10!! Blood Diamond 'Blood Diamond' is one of DiCaprios better films and one that leaves you thinking about the issues it explores long after the credits have rolled. All the actors play their roles well and the locations make for some stunning scenery. The storyline is pretty shocking at times and it feels like it is half action movie and half political commentary. The issues around blood diamonds are explained pretty well and it'll make you think twice about those innocuous sparkly stones that we see everywhere. As other reviewers have noted, the film is excellent, but the sanitised, saccharine Hollywood ending spoils what is a powerful film, with an important message. Overall though, I'd say this film is well worth watching, it will keep you engaged the whole way through and is well shot and acted. A directors cut without the last five minutes would be great! Great but not Amazing. This is one film that you can safely say makes you think after you've seen it. In the film you feel the diamond almost becomes a character in itself, greed and money is what leads to the conclusion..And to think all the blood that has been shed has happened because this diamond was there. I for one will be making sure I know where my diamonds come from before I ever go out and get a ring or jewellry for someone. Other than being a very very very good film.... I do not agree with any of the bad reviews about this movie. A lot of people already wrote very good things about it and I totally agree all of them. On just a small note, after starring in Gangs of New York with Daniel Day Lewis, I see a considerable quality in Caprio's movies. He is becoming a real actor rather than a pretty face which I really enjoy to see and another thing, how Hounsou couldn't win the Oscar with his performance in this movie, I'll never know!!! Incredibley moving, action packed story ! Wow i bought this movie not knowing what to expect and it completely blew me away. Based on the true story of diamond smuggling, we follow the journey of a journalist, ex - marine and a local fisher man who all have different objectives but all want to find an extremely rare pink diamond. This gripping and powerful film will excite you make you sad and make you smile. Perfect film ! Submit Your ReviewTo submit your review of Blood Diamond [2006] you must first login / register.
