There are very few MOVIES which deliver more then they promise , this is one of the rarities , its a true story set in sierra leone in the nineties after the discovery of diamond mine fields in that peaceful country , as remarked in the beginning by a character , whenever anything of value is found in africa the locals die .


This biopic is a must see for indian makers as it reflects that you can make a powerful drama without resorting to immorality and gimmicks , I refer to a recent hindi biopic.


the movie is scripted immaculately srarting with the abduction of a local fisherrnan who is forced to work in a diamond field as slave labour , his discovery of a huge pink diamond and his struggle to save his family constitute the aftermath. The civil war engineered by the west to benefit from illicit diamond trade bring a loadful of mercenary soldiers to the wartorn statE.


One ofthem is di caprio , an angolan born white who is corrupt , street smart , avaricious yet has managed to miraculously hold onto his spirituality , he comes to know of the diamonds existence and the rest of the story is about him trying to retrieve it and the fishernmans desperate efforts to save his son who is serving as a child soldier with the rebels , jennifer connelly effectively plays a yankee journalist trying to salvage the truth about the blood diamonds as was the illicit trade called.


This is the kind of movie that hollywood studios can do better then anyone in the world , given a strong script immaculatrly directed with phenomenal cinematography and production values . Yet its the characters who are so totally engrossing , di caprio was good in departed , here he is brilliant , his corrupt ways , his childhood memories of his parents murder and his suggested love affair steal your heart .the african actor honsou is also brilliant as the irrelevant african who is a pawn in the hands of the vultures , all after the diamond .
