  Blood Diamond (2006)

description written by member Zara:

Set during Sierra Leone's bloody civil war in 1999, this thriller stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Danny Archer, a smuggler who sells "blood" diamonds used to finance terrorists. When Archer meets a local fisherman (Djimon Hounsou) whose son has been forced into a child army, the two men's lives become intertwined, and they set off on an adventure that leads them through the world's major diamond centers. DiCaprio and Hounsou earned Oscar nods for their performances.

Blood Diamond Movie Review by Chris (8/29/2007)

I just watched this movie of On Demad, and it was really good. I thought the movie was going to be dumb, boring and very unrealistic. Instead its filled with action,emotion and the reality of whats happening in Africa.

In 1999, in Sierra Leone, the fisherman Solomon Vandy dreams on the day that his young son Dia Vandy...

Blood Diamond Movie Review by B Movie Ben (8/17/2007)

I have not been a Leonardo DiCaprio fan. I do like Djimon Hounsou and have seen several of his films. Watching this film, I have to say that both deserve every single award they received and should have probably gotten every award they were nominated for. I only hesitate to state this unequivocally because I have not seen...

Blood Diamond Movie Review by Jarrod (6/28/2007)

Blood Diamond alternates between superb action and heartwrenching drama in a way few movies could. This could be a result of director Edward Zwick, who has helmed Glory, Courage under Fire, and The Last Samurai. It could be the subject matter, which offers an unsparing look into the ravaged war-torn country of Sierra...

Watching first "The Departed" and...

Blood Diamond Movie Review by Justin (3/20/2007)

And it's Tuesday again and today's topic is "Blood Diamond" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Housou and Jennifer Connelly. I should tell you straight away that this is a nasty, brutal and difficult movie to watch. Not because it's based on a true story. No, it's because it's based on the present. While the places in the...
