It's been a long time Leo (one of my favorite actors, lookin cute here, with beard n definitely the body, love it! Well, except one thing, the hair chest is a no no!) does'nt play commercial movie after The Departed which have won Oscars for Best Picture this year. Also, Blood Diamond is his first action-adventure movie, hopefully he'll make a lot more.
Inspired by a true event in Sierra Leone, Africa in 1991 when the country was in a civil war, the movie is about illegal sale of diamond, which is done by the rebels to support their financial and it involves an American giant diamond company. To mine the diamond, they force the people who have been separated from their family when the hometown was destroyed. One of them, is Solomon Vandy (Djimon Honsou) who finds the "Pink Diamond", the term for rare-high valued diamond which then confronts the characters, Solomon himself, the diamond smuggler, Danny Archer (Leonardo Dicaprio), the journalist, Maddy (Jennifer Connely) and Archer's boss, The Colonel (Arnold Vosloo) into a complicated conflict.
This movie certainly offers a lot more than just a good looking Dicaprio, pretty face Connely and strong acting by Honsou. Beside smart-witty scenario, nice chemistry among the characters, and of course not a cliche ending, what more important is that it makes U concern that the gorgeous diamond always dream of apparently had cost many people's life in the process.
