NO SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW!!!!
This movie is truly touching. Without giving away the whole story, it is about diamonds that come from Africa and a distributed to Europe and US and sold for a lot of money. But the Africans really don't get anything for it. Also, it brings attention to the history of the Sierra Leon region, horrible what really happens over there (This is actually going on with a lot of people not knowing or looking the other way, but still spending money on all those expensive diamonds)

Good:
The actors Djimon Hounsou, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jennifer Connelly did a wonderful and believable job. A +++++ for their performance. The characters were real and complex. The story keeps you speculating and is really touching. It is truly gripping and keeps you on the edge of the seat until the last second. Wow, what a movie.

Be Aware:
Since it is such a intense movie, that is taking place in horrifically conflicted Africa, it is very graphic and shocking. (Kids with machine guns killing etc.)I think that the movie needs those disturbing images, to opens some eyes and show what is really going on. It certainly changed my opinion about Diamonds. just be aware if the violence in this movie if you plan to watch it.

This is a MUST SEE MOVIE!!!!
