Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Gabriel S 18, almost 19 years apart from the release of Blood Diamond, this movie is already a sensation, a must watch for thriller lovers. I figure there is not much I can talk about this movie, in 2024, that has missed reviews back then, but I will give it a shot. Let's start with what is wrong in this movie, the things that don't work. Even though this movie is rated R, we see little violence overall compared to what a true R movie is nowadays. This lack of explicitness has a toll on the character development of Dia Vandy, especially at the later stages of the film. The feud implied by characters Colonel Coetzee and Danny Archer due to Danny's failure is too simplistic. Yes, Danny's apartment gets trashed, but that is the extent of the damage. Maybe this side story could have added additional tension to the overall story arc. The love arc between characters Danny and Maddy Bowen is also lacking a bit. Feels to pure and fantastic, especially when character Maddy explicitly asks Danny if they are not going to “do it”, but, then later, their love is pretty much Platonic, idealized and ramped up to muse level. One negative thing that truly stands out is America's involvement on it all. The story makes it like America is the one peacemaker, the bringers of True Democracy and Fairness, the Eagle of Justice here to defend the oppressed and poor. We all know how trueful that is, how much America likes to get involved in things. But all this is little compared to the power this movie has. Nit-pickings for the sake of this review, they exist but they remove little from the overall story. The story itself is a great depiction of conflict diamond exploration, its price on Africans, the lives it destroys, the lives it builds. A story about the cruel world of a continent's richness exploration and salvaging. A powerful drama exposing all this to the world to the lens of great actors. Enough said. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Muhammed a It was a quality and very nice movie, the acting was good, but something happened that I didn't want, those who watched the movie will understand, other than that, it's a watchable movie.
