Anyone else seen it? I went to see it with the missus tonight...
What an awesome movie with such a strong storyline

Some very familiar scenes from South Africa as well...

Saw it last week.

Good film but Leo DiCaprio's accent was annoying & thought there was too much over-dramatic music on the score - some scenes would have been much more tense with no music at all.

Still enjoyed it though

Seen it, and liked it a lot.

Leonardo has really become a better actor in the later years. His first films weren't all that good. IMO.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape and The Basketball Diaries were top films, he made some right dross after that...

I think he pulled the accent off really well TBH...
He sounded just like a friend of mine does back in SA...actually he looked just like him as well.
When he called the soldier a "doos", the wife and I both started giggling but no-one else in the cinema did...I suppose its a bit like the afrikaans that Arnold Vosloo spoke in two or three scenes as well...the wife and I knew what he was saying but everyone else just looked very bewildered and lost

Overall I think Leo played the part really well. The irony though is that when we got home, a documentary had just started on the history channel about the blood diamonds of sierra leone.

He is, finally, starting to look like he's older than 22.

I too found the score to be a bit overly dramatic at times, some parts were very reminiscent of Black Hawk Down.

Djimon Houson is definately one to watch though, I can see him tackling parts that would otherwise suit a younger Morgan freeman.

I reserve myself the right to change the order of some letters in his last name until proven wrong.
