DVD Reviews of Blood Diamond [Blu-ray]
DVD Review: dynamic
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie will keep you on the edge of your chair. It is a action movie and much fact finding was written into the script.DVD Review: Enough !
Summary: 3 Stars
I really like this movie, it's one of the few I've enjoyed enough to consider watching more than once.. BUT the movie also tries to hammer home african unrest and turmoil, child soldiers, enormous refuge camps, "conflict" diamonds, mindless violence, mercenary military actions based solely on profit and monetary gain, etc. until it becomes annoyingly heavy handed... nearly to the point of interfering with the movie itself... I watch movies to distract myself from real life, not to be scolded for some of horrible and inhumane things that happen in this world..
The three stars I gave this move would be closer to five if not for the guilt trip that results from watching it.
DVD Review: Spectacular
Summary: 5 Stars
Leonardo and Djimon performances are spectacular in this gripping and stunning movie. Edward Zwick directs this intensly moving adventure that is heart-pounding. It's about a smuggler(Leonardo) who finds out that a Mende fisherman(Djimon) is hiding a diamond. The problem is that theres a civil war going on in Sierra Leone and Djimon son is forced to be a child soldier. I don't want to say anymore cause you should see it for yourself. This was excitingly well made and very moving.DVD Review: wonderful, A++++++
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a great movie, and all should follow its advice and be careful buying diamonds. it has a great cast and wonderful acting. DVD Review: Very good, but preachy
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good movie for what it is. The entire cast does a good job. The characters are, to a very large extent, characatures, but hey, this is a Hollywood "message" movie and that's not where one looks for 3-dimensional portrayals.
It's a good looking movie in HD DVD and well worth having for five dollars.
Description of Blood Diamond [Blu-ray]
An ex-mercenary turned smuggler (Leonardo DiCaprio). A Mende fisherman (Djimon Hounsou). Amid the explosive civil war overtaking 1999 Sierra Leone, these men join for two desperate missions: recovering a rare pink diamond of immense value and rescuing the fisherman's son, conscripted as a child soldier into the brutal rebel forces ripping a swath of torture and bloodshed across the alternately beautiful and ravaged countryside. Directed by Edward Zwick (Glory, The Last Samurai), this urgent, intensely moving adventure shapes gripping human stories and heart-pounding action into a modern epic of profound impact.Leonardo 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
