I watched on Netflix and it was a very good film. The film isn't all action and shows the living conditions there. Djimon Hounsou, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Connelly were very good in the film
Rewatching Blood Diamond reminded me why it’s such a powerful and unforgettable film. It’s not just a movie—it’s an experience that grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go. Leonardo DiCaprio delivers one of his best performances as Danny Archer. His character’s journey from selfish opportunist to someone who finds his humanity is so raw and real that it hit me on a deeper level this time around.

Before he can act upon his suspicions, the army arrive and in the mêlée both men are captured and imprisoned. The ertswhile gangster is blabbing to anyone that will listen about "Solomon" and his priceless jewel, and that attracts the attention of smuggler "Archer" (Leonardo Di Caprio). He knows that the one thing more important to "Solomon" than the stone is his family, so he has him released with a promise that if he retrieves the stone…
