.......A movie I've had for a while now, but never checked out. Just watched and loved it, DiCaprio runs the show and acting was stellar throughout, forget about a few silly moments and you've got a tiptop-action-thriller-drama for a good night infront of the LCD.
PS.....It's set in South Africa, with Diamonds and Africans.
PPS......A bit like Far Cry 2.
;)
Far Cry 2
Game » consists of 16 releases. Released Oct 21, 2008
The sequel to the original Far Cry dispenses with Jack Carver, and moves the action to a war-consumed Africa complete with an open-ended storyline involving civil war, several hours of missions, heated gunplay, and a slew of dynamic elements powered by a new engine.
Blood Diamond......
I was talking to a friend a few days back and he said Far Cry 2 would be "decent." I said, "Dude...It's like playing Blood Diamond"
PS.....It's set in South Africa, with Diamonds and Africans.Actually, Blood Diamond is set in Sierra Leone, but whatever.
Blood Diamond was indeed badass. If you have the 2-disc edition of the DVD, there's a great documentary feature that tracks a diamond through the Kimberly Process, but it also shows the flaws in the system. Very interesting to watch.
Blood diamond was a very good movie and I enjoyed it a lot. The African guy (I forgot his name) was great, and Leo was of course really good. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it was a very well done, though-provoking action movie.

The guy was brilliant in that movie, that jail scene sent shivers down meh spine.And yeah, it looks like Far Cry 2 in terms of setting and everything but FC2 looks a lot different in terms of overall story and presentation. I don't think it is going to try and make the player think about African human rights or anything but it is going to be a great game."

He should have won >.<
yeah this movie is definitely one of Ubi soft 's inspiration for Far cry 2 , the only currency in far cry 2 is Diamond .
"It's easy to compare the game and movie, but besides some obvious similarities they aren't that alike..."Trust me , they are
I am telling you
"yeah this movie is definitely one of Ubi soft 's inspiration for Far cry 2 , the only currency in far cry 2 is Diamond ."The other option would have been Zimbabwe Dollars but they realized that would only be good as a fire starter.

Unfortunately when I saw it the "In Theater Red-Neck" Commentary was rolling. AKA some redneck douche bag who decided to talk to the film.
