Set during Sierra Leone's bloody civil war in 1999, this thriller stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Danny Archer, a smuggler who sells "blood diamonds" used to finance terrorists. When Archer meets a local fisherman (Djimon Hounsou) whose son has been forced into a child army, the two men's lives become intertwined, and they set off on the adventure that leads them through the worlds major diamond centers. Hounsou has found a very large diamond and buried it, in a location only he knows, DiCaprio wants it but they must Hounsou insists they must rescue his son-then he will turn over the diamond. DiCaprio and Hounsou earned Oscars for their performances in the movie and the director Edward Zwick (Glory, The Siege, The Last Samurai, Defiance, etc.) adds another hit to his long list. Definitely will give you full evening of viewing pleasure if you like action & adventure movies or if you are a collector of DiCaprio s (Titanic, Aviator, The Departed, Body of Lies, etc) good list of movies. Jennifer Connelly co-stars in the part of a reporter investigating blood diamonds and also does an excellent job with her part.Read full review
HD DVD is encoded in High Definition 1080p format. The movie its sharpness, and eye-popping colors are just stunning. Black levels are inky with excellent grey shadow detail, and contrasts are deep. The movie itself is great and if you are already a fan of the DVD the HD DVD is what you want. One problem with HD is that with the HD/Blu Ray debate some stores are not stocking them until there is a clear winner. Not to worry, the store below has hundreds of HD DVDs broken down by genre: http://stores.ebay.com/Dvdmagnet_Dvds-and-Movies_HD-DVD_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ7752928QQ

Engaging action and story-line. The scenery and background is awesome. DiCaprio as a "not is nice" protagonist is a good role for him. Saw it on HBO and decided it was a must have for the action movie collection.
