DP, since Irishman won't tell you, I think he and I have the same problems with BLOOD DIAMOND, which sets itself up as a social message movie(message? It sucks to live in Africa) only to become instead a proxy for a meh action movie set inside a melodrama. By the credits, you just don't give a s*it who dies or whatever.

You're supposed to be outraged(since you know, it sucks to live in Africa) but one is given reason to seriously care.

Its not a bad movie. Hell DP, you might even like it. Its just to my eyes, senses, and nose, the movie is flatter than a young girl's chest. Of course I didn't care for LAST SAMURAI either, and some BB.Net folks enjoyed it, so it depends...
