Great movie (2008-03-28)

This great Hollywood blockbuster is one of a series of thought provoking movies along with the constant gardener and shooting dogs .Filmed in South Africa , London and Mozambique ,the result is excellent and the photography in this movie is a good as it gets .It tells the story of two people who must find a very large diamond for very different reasons , one to save his son and the other to become rich . The action scenes are very realistic is terms of showing the brutal civil war in Sierra Leone as Saving private Ryan showed the landings in Normandy .Leonardo DiCaprio deserves praise for his portrait of the South African mercenary he developed very convincing South African accent , he and Djimon Honsou work very well together and there is great scene when their characters clashed over racial issues .Michael Sheen delivers another impeccable villain role as the unscrupulous diamond merchant who will buy anything from a war zone .The only character that is not so good is Jennifer Connelly , also her relationship with Leonardo Dicaprio seems a bit far fetched and the romance is not very convincing.4 and a half stars , only if it had a different female role ....

Ultra-violent kill-fest (2008-01-28)

My wife and I aborted this film after less than half an hour, once it becameobvious that the story was being treated solely as a vehicle foralmost endless bloody violence. The gruesome opening depiction of theslaughter of the innocents was more than graphic enough to establish thegeneral political background. Like most general viewers, we accepted thattruthful portrayal of political assassination is obligatory on responsiblefilm producers and directors, however harrowing. But to needlessly repeatthe same scenes of mass slaughter over and over again, as in "Blood Diamond",is to merely pander to the minority who get pervertedpleasure from watching bloody death, debasement and destruction.It is worth noting that published reviews of this film have deliberatelydown-played the gratuitous and repetitive violence. This is a seriousdis-service to the viewing public, and it is high time films of thissavage nature were described accurately, and as unflinchingly as theviolence graphically portrayed. If this fair assessment were observed,a few hundred less copies might be sold, but the general viewer would at leastbe warned off wasting money on adding the DVD to their own collection.

A great film (2007-12-12)

This was a very thoughtful production that managed to meld action and drama with an important message about the politics of diamonds. A very good HD transfer and excellent sound. If you are worried about the price get it from Amazon in the States.

A real diamond ? (2007-07-27)

Is the disc diamond encrusted?I'd want a holographic film for £26, what a rip off!

Blood Diamond (2007-07-12)

This is a good, exciting and action packed film. It also has a message in about the illegal trade of diamonds so you may learn something. It is a good watch!
