Movie Review: Blood Diamond 
It's a drama, based on the real history, which mixes action and dramatic scenes and gives us a message about solidarity, friendship and the love of father to his family. It has a lot of great action scenes but is kind of unrealistic.
The Blood Diamond is about a humble fisherman named Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) (C)who lives in Sierra Leone in the middle of the Sierra Leone Civil War (1996-2001). His village is attacked by the Revolutionary United Front. His family escapes but his only son Dia(P) is kidnapped by the RUF in order to make him a child soldier. He has a workforce in a diamond mine where he discovers an enormous pink diamond. The government security forces attacks the camp and he's arrested. Then he meets Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), when in jail. Archer, who learns of the diamond, propones him to rescue his boy and get the diamond. Both men helped by the journalist Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), who is researching about the traffic of diamonds, arrives to a place near the mine. I won't give away the ending, but I thought it could had(WF) had a better end for everyone.
It's filled with great camera work, nice action scenes, and plenty of drama. I think the problem is in the end of the story. Why would a gunrunner pity of a poor fisherman? Overall, I gave this 2006 movie four out five stars. This is a great DVD for a weekend night when you want to see some action and drama movie which will make you concern about the useless and the cruelty of the wars.
