I went to this movie just with the trailer. I was not disappointed. This was one of the best movies I've seen this year. The views were stunning. It was perfect in Scope. 4/5

This is indeed one of the better movies I have seen recently. Although I say Leonardo was better in The Departed, he's pretty good here also. For some reason I thought Jennifer Connelly was pretty hot in this.

DeCaprios accent was dreadful!!!!

His accent during the trailer is the single reason I have not watched this movie.

"In America it's bling-bling, but over here it's bling-bang."

That line, and the way it was delivered, almost made me vomit.

It's legit South African; the Academy will give him kudos for it (as it was actually pretty good).

Better than Kevin Costner would do ..

I thought it was the best of this years crop of African Nightmare movies (Catch a Fire, Last King of Scotland, Hotel Rwanda) although nothing compares to Forrest Whitaker's turn as Idi Amin.
