Plot Summary
Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990's Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) - a South African mercenary - and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) - a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories as different as any can be, until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon - who was taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields - has found and hidden the extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), an American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territory, a journey that could save Solomon's family and give Archer the second chance he thought he would never have.

I will definitely be seeing this film.

I enjoy Leonardo DiCaprio and I LOVE Dlimon Honsou.

I really enjoyed The Last Samurai as well, which has the same director. I will surely be seeing this movie.

Woo-hoo. It's great to see someone who's *really* to see Djimon Housou as well as Leonardo DiCaprio. Leo's characters have been in the States as of late (The Aviator, Gangs of New York, The Departed), so it'll be great to see him go abroad for a bit. 🙂

I think Leo's "accent" is laughable.

yea well hes from hollywood with italian and german parents.

Yeah the movie looks good but I really didn't care much for Leo's accent.

Actually, I hear the accent is accurate to the character's birthplace.

Blood Diamond

This movie looks amazing! The trailer is good and it has a sentimental side to it too...

Blood Diamond was Fantastic

Blood Diamond was great!!!!!!!! Leo did a fantastic job and Hounsou was phenominal. This movie is Oscar material

I have been wanting to see it. 'The Last Samurai', and 'Glory'. Were great.

I just can't stand Leo's accent in this.

This movie was good as hell.

Blood Diamond was surprisingly good. I thought that Leo and Djimon were great. Leo will get nominated also. Although for which film I am not sure.

He is nominated to the Golden Globes for both movies,"The Departed" and "Blood Diamond"...as for the Oscars...we`ll just wait and see...

I loved it. It was very touching, and very informative. It was quite a bit long, but worth it. 👆
