Basically, Schindler's List set in Africa, only better, in my opinion. A tense movie about a man who uses whatever resources he has to save as many people's lives as he can during a genocide. It's unbelievable that this kind of thing is allowed to go on in this world. See this and the next time you hear about an uprising or an ethnic cleansing somewhere on the other side of the world, you'll have a better idea of what it's actually like for the people stuck in the middle of it. Don Cheadle should win an Oscar for this. Nick Nolte was good, as was whoever played Cheadle's wife. With its disturbing, yet not-too-gory scenes of machete butchering and brutal beatings, I question the logic of the G rating this movie received. Okay, it's a true story, but I wouldn't bring anyone under 13 to see this.
