REVIEW
I knew the story from listening to NPR stories and the genocide
in Rwanda. Only at the end of the movie does one get any idea
of what was happening. There are some gruesome video clips
as part of the movie, but the don't begin to tell the story of Rwanda.
Maybe it's just as well. The story of Rwanda is how man is willing
to let man die if money is not involved. In truth, that is what killed
the millions in Rwanda.
Don Cheadle does an outstanding acting job in this movie. It's
worth watching. Other actors were okay. However, I got the sense that
Nick Nolte purposely played his role down in an effort to tell the story.
