(8/10)
Just got back from seeing BLOOD DIAMOND and I sure am happy I went because I didn't think I was going to catch this one in theatres. This is certainly a movie that one needs to be pushed to see because like myself, the trailers didn't really come off as to exciting. I won't go into a full review as this film was released a month ago but its worth seeing. The directors ability to blend action with importance really makes this one stand out because without the commentary on the world today spread throughout, this would simply be a pretty mindless thriller. Tension is here but emotions run dry for some reason. The plot is jumbled but the way the scenes flow make the movie work better as a whole, especially since its long, over 2 hours but you rarely feel it. The score is perfect and the scenery is beautiful. Foreshadowing and contrasts help the audience to not sway off track. The final 20 minutes do tend to drag but its all necessary and Leo, Djimon and Jennifer give powerful performances. Blah blah....tv time.
