    Default Blood Diamond film

    Anyone else seen it? Opinions?

    I thought it was good, albeit fairly plotless

    I thought it was better than I thought it was going to be. Dicrapios character was rather unpredictable, except for the fact that you probably knew/know that he was going to get shot at some point. It had a good theme, with some history on the side about what was happening in that country at that time. I thought the Black guy(sorry forgot his name, and sorry if it sounds racist, best way to describe him) who was the supporting actor did a very good job in the movie. There was a plot, albeit, it was hard to find 'cuz of the randomness that would happen. It was nearly straight forward, and I liked the outsiderish view of the civil war and how it was affecting the people that took part in it. All-in-all it was a good movie, and might be worth watching again. What did you think about it Orb?
    P.S. You should put *SPOILERS* in the title just in case somebody hasn't seen yet. You never know

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut
