Excellent Movie, 2 thumbs way up for Don Cheadle! This is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and I have seen plenty. I am not a big fan of movies that show horrific and terrifying scenes of violence and oppresion, but when I heard that Don Cheadle was one of the main characters in the movie I knew I had to see it. This movie is definitely a piece of very important history for us all. The scene when the UN came to the hotel to take of the Europeans, Italians etc, and leave the africans behind was the most emotional part for me. Watching them stand at the hotel waiting to be rescued, only to be told that they were being left behind was shameful to say the least. At that very moment I was ashamed to be an "American". Don Cheadle was superb, and the actress who played his wife was amazing. Although this movie was definitely no laughing matter, the small part that I did find amusing and it was certainly justified, Don Cheadle was looking for his family after the rebels came, and when he discovered they were all in the bathroom shower, when he flew the curtain back, his wife was there holding the shower head in her hand. He said to her, "What were you going to do with that?", and everyone in the shower including Don had to laugh. With all that was going on around them, that was a well deserved moment of humor for all of them. Him finding her and the children, after thinking for a moment that she might have jumped off the roof instead of being slaughtered to death, was a definite sign of relief. How could such a horrific moment in history be overlooked and not be prevented?? This should have not be allowed to happen. Its almost without a doubt that Jamie Foxx will win Best Actor for RAY, and he was fantastic in the movie, But I really wish they could give two Oscars that night, because Don Cheadle deseves it!!!! A must see movie, and definitely one I will buy when it is released on DVD!
