Quick review

The good
Stunning sweeping vistas and exhilarating action scenes, Hounsou gives an accomplished performance as the moral foil to Leo’s unprincipled anti-hero, Blood Diamond brings an important political message to a large audience
The bad
DiCaprio’s Zimbabwean accent has drawn mockery from some quarters, the last half hour descends into clichéd Hollywood action formula, Charles Leavitt’s crowded and occasionally preachy screenplay
Verdict
Director Edward Zwick combines stunning sweeping vistas with brutal violence and exhilarating action scenes
