WHAT'S THE STORY? A smuggler pits himself against corrupt businessmen over a priceless diamond, all set against the backdrop of Sierra Leone's horrific civil war.
ANY GOOD? Ignore Leonardo DiCaprio's Sowth Ifrickan accent, and enjoy the set pieces. It's brutal, but when it all kicks off it's great!
QUOTE FOR THE POSTER: 'Pounding action drama that's proper diamond, guv!'
REASON TO WATCH: Since writing this, DiCaprio's accent has won him an Oscar nomination. So it was convincing after all!
