Leonardo DiCaprio once again proves that he is a very strong actor (As long as he stay away from the romantic drama)
Blood Diamond is a movie packed with human suffering in the war struggeling country of Sierra Leone.
Diamond smuggling, slavery, greed, cruelty, death and war all comes together in this action bomb of a movie that point a finger at the western communities greed for African resources.
This movie is must see, and will certainly make an impact.
