This exciting thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio portrayed many sides of the controversial issue of conflict diamonds. When a poor country is full of items of such high value, the people tear each other apart in the hopes of being able to afford a way out. Politics, ethics, journalism, racism, love, and aggression are all explored. The director passed up many opportunities to make this movie into a series of Hollywood clichés and I applaud that. 5/5 stars.
