Blood Diamond - Anyone Seen It?
Went last night with the girlfriend and was worried with it being 2.5hrs long but must admit it was really entertaining. Fair play to Di Caprio in this day an age where many big actors stick to the same familiar roles. I thought his accent and mannerisms were very good.
Overall a very good and and thoroughly enjoyable film.
Did make me wonder at the end when they put "its up to the consumer to demand non-conflict diamonds". How the **** does the average joe know what is conflict and what is not.

Would like to see this one myself but can't persuade the misses to go. Oh well.

I guess at the end of the day all you can do is ask that it comes with the official paperwork. I just found it funny that they put such an onus on the buyer.

Thoroughly enjoyed the film (much to my surprise)
His accent took a bit of getting used to but very good none the less
Scenes of the refugee camps sure brought some reality home

He takes some stick for Titanic and Romeo & Juliet does old Leonardo but he has actually done some very good films (inc Titanic imho).
Certainly is a wake up call. If you ever thought you had a rough upbringing or issues in your life you may think again after watching this film.
Thumbs up from me

I was thoroughly depressed by how accurate / cynical / brutal it seemed by three-quarters of the way through. Thank heavens for Hollywood's happy endings!
Very impressed by the film and Di Caprio.
Make an effort, go and see it.

Loved it. I was a bit wary about it at first thinking its going to be a film Id switch off half way through but it had me hooked and didnt want it too end.
Most impressed.

Glad to know it wasnt just me who thought this film was great. A nice change amongst most of the drivel that comes out these days.
