Critic Reviews for Blood Diamond
All Critics (212) | Top Critics (50) | Fresh (132) | Rotten (80) | DVD (15)
Both excitingly well made and dispiritingly formulaic.
Blood Diamond has all the cinematic punch of a lengthy Nation article.
It doesn't entirely evade the issue at its core - conflict diamonds - in favour of pure action by way of guns and planes, thrills and spills; but it hardly embraces the subject fully either.
DiCaprio proves himself the most watchful and watchable actor of his age.
It succeeds well at what it sets out to do: wrapping a worthy message in a compelling story.
[Director Zwick] is craftsman enough that the pace never slackens, the chase scenes thrill, and the battle scenes sicken. And if it makes viewers think twice about buying their sweethearts that hard-won hunk of ice for Christmas, so much the better.

Super Reviewer
It's a bit formulaic but the performances of the lead actors (Hounsou and DiCaprio) are great enough to make this film worthy.

Blood Diamond Quotes
| Captain Poison: | You think I am a devil, but only because I have lived in hell. |
| Maddy Bowen: | [overlooking the refugee camp] This is what a million people looks like. At the moment, the second largest camp in Africa. Might catch a minute of this on CNN, somewhere between Sports and Weather. |
| Maddy Bowen: | Why? This whole country's at war. Why should I help just one person? [Followed by silence as she thinks about it] |
| Danny Archer: | You take your boy home, yeah? |
