I thought this was a very good film, not a great one, but very good. It will make you angry, it will humble you, it will make you shed tears for the victims of the genocide in 1994 in Rwanda while the world sat on their hands and did little to curtail the massacre before so many people had to die for some irrational division of ethnicity.
Don Cheadle gives a great performance, he anchors the film in his ingenuity and hope as he tries to keep his family alive against heavy odds given the situation that developed. Sophie Okonedo was good, but I'm on the fence as to it being worthy of a best supporting actress nomination.
If you know a little or nothing about what happened in Rwanda (1994), you owe it to yourself to see this film.
I give it 3 stars or a grade of B.
