Political movie

Let me start by saying that the quality of the cinemaphotography and settings for the movie were superb. I really enjoyed the locations that were used in the movie, some of the scenery was spectacular. After saying that, I knew after about 20 minutes into the movie that I would be seeing end credits listing the facts and figures about conflict diamonds. Well I wasn't disappointed, right after the movie ended we got to see some closing statements about conflict diamonds and their effects on warfare. Well I got to admit the only thing I knew about the movie going into it was that it had a pretty cool looking trailor. I don't like reading too much into reviews because I don't like to read spoilers. I wish I would have looked into this movie more. I don't like being preached to when I watch movies like this one. I thought it was going to be a fun action movie (which it was), but I didn't want to get a lecture at the same time. I gave the movie a positive rating because it is a well made movie and the action really rocked. At the same time, I was a little turned off knowing that I was seeing someone's message about diamonds. Hell I can't afford to buy the things anyway so it didn't do much for me. I have mixed feelings about recommending to see this one. If you do go to watch it, go into to it knowing that you will be preached to along the way.
