It’s always hard to watch a DVD where a young, attractive (I’ve heard) white male is thrust into the depths of Africa with nothing but a native male and an attractive white female to make him see he’s been leading the wrong life all these years.
Leonardo DiCaprio plays Danny Archer, a smuggler in ‘conflict diamonds’ who comes from a troubled background but has found a way to fend for himself on the rough streets of Sierra Leone. When Archer is caught attempting to smuggle diamonds into Liberia, he is thrown into jail where he sees local fisherman Solomon Vandy being threatened by a rebel commander.
