Baltimore Sun (Chris Kaltenbach)
There are times when his message threatens to overwhelm his story line, and the last 15 minutes or so of Blood Diamond demonstrate what happens when sentimentality wins out over style and grit. ...read the complete Blood Diamond movie review at Baltimore Sun (Chris Kaltenbach)

As strong as Blood Diamond is in its best moments, I wish it had been even harder-edged. DiCaprio is remarkable - his work is almost on par with his performance this year in "The ...read the complete Blood Diamond movie review at Christian Science Monitor (Peter Rainer)

Slate (Dana Stevens)
With his role in Blood Diamond (Warner Bros.), I'm finally starting to get Leonardo DiCaprio.

Still, there are a lot of ways to classify failure (of which commercial is only the most popular), and to its credit, the film succeeds at beating most of them.

Edward Zwick's "Blood Diamond" is a message movie, loosely wrapped in action-thriller paper, and consequently it's never difficult to see where it's going.
