Synopsis: Hotel Rwanda (2004)
Synopis: Ten years ago, some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda; and in an era of high-speed communication and round-the-clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world. In only three months, almost 1 million people were brutally murdered. In the face of these unspeakable actions, inspired by his love for his family, an ordinary man summons extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand helpless refugees by granting them shelter in the hotel he manages.Features: Hotel Rwanda (2004)

Pros: DON CHEADLE IS EXCELLENT!
Cons: NICK NOLTE WAS EITHER FRIGHTENED OR SOUSED
I WANTED TO LIKE THIS FILM,BUT ONE ANTI CLIMAX AFTER A--
NOTHER,AD NAUSEUM AND THE STRETCHING OF THE MOVIE MADE IT
UNBEARABLE.NICK NOLTE,WHOM I LOVE,WAS JUST AWFUL.DID HE REHEARSE?WAS HE BOMBED?HE WAS CONSTANTLY OUT OF SYNC,DRAGGING THE FILM DOWN WITH EACH BREATH.DAVID O'HARA
WAS NOT GIVEN A CHANCE AND JOAQUIN PHOENIX WAS MISCAST.
IF DON CHEADLE AND DAVID O'HARA WERE THE ONLY STARS,WITH
THE UNKNOWNS AS SUPPORTING CAST,WELL MY OPINION WOULD CHANGE DRASTICALLY.THE SCREENPLAY WAS POORLY WRITTEN.JUST
REWRITE WITH THE ONE THEME IN PROGRESS,LET THE MUSIC BUILD,
THEN ONE BIG BATTLE AT THE END AND WALAHH,IT IS TEN TIMES AS GOOD.ALL OF THE SO CALLED BIG NAMES WERE NOT NECESSARY.
I KNOW WHO DON CHEADLE IS,AND I HAVE FOLLOWED DAVID O'HARA
SINCE PRIME SUSPECT. ...
