Quick Peek
Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990's Sierra Leone, "Blood Diamond" is the story of Danny Archer--a South African mercenary--and Solomon Vandy--a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories as different as any can be, until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon--who was taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields--has found and hidden the extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen, an American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territory, a journey that could save Solomon's family and give Archer the second chance he thought he would never have.

User Reviews for Blood Diamond

This is a brilliant motion picture with a briliant cast. Leonardo DiCaprio deserves Oscar mention here. But BEWARE: this movie is absolutely not for the fainthearted. Moments reminiscent of the battle scenes in 'Saving Private Ryan' are strewn in full measure thruout the picture. And you most certainly will be given an eye opening education into what brutal destruction of the mind of childrens and a peoples amidst the illicit diamond industry in Africa really looks like. You most likely will not forget this one...ever.
Pros: An education in an industry in 'conflict diamonds' you likely never heard of.
Cons: You will squirm and gasp thruout the motion picture. You will shudder, and cry.
