Another Victory For DiCaprio
) 
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Pounding action, pulse-quickening adventure and of-the-moment politics make "Blood Diamond," a great thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Set against the backdrop of the chaos and civil war that enveloped 1990s Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond is the story of Danny Archer (DiCaprio), an ex-mercenary from Zimbabwe, and Solomon Vandy (Hounsou), a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories and their circumstances are as different as any can be until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond. With the help of a plucky American journalist, Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), the two men search for the diamond, which for Archer will ensure his escape from Africa and for Vandy will help him find his son, who has become a child soldier.
I wouldn’t pass on this movie as its well worth the 2 ½ hour runtime.
