Movie Watch

Hotel Rwanda

After watching shooting dogs I thought I would give this film a run as its based in the same conflict but got much more press. This is a bigger film with obviously more money and it has a slight American stamp on it compared to shooting dogs. It is a good film and is very gripping, it gets you caught up In the characters but also has a softer edge to it all. Out of the 2 films this one would be the one you would want to watch if you were looking for that slight glimmer of hope that good things do happen but if you can take it I think shooting dogs is the better of the 2 films. I thought it was a very strong cast and Don Cheadle was awesome and I couldn’t see anyone else in the role, Nick Nolte was good but he (for me) played the same character as Jack Cates from 48 hours and Another 48 hours.

Imdb this film
