Hotel Rwanda

Grade: B-

We all know that UN isn't exactly omnipotent in situations of civil conflict and stuff. But this movie really over-sensationalises it, and there's too much of the one-hero-saves-the-day kind of crap. Prefer those movies where they tell you how every member of the team works together to get themselves out of the situation.

Oh and did I mention? Th ending sucks. It didn't give any closure to the main issue (the genocide of the Tutsis) but rather gave some sappy crap about bringing back some orphans. Sure, having scenes of little kids singing will bring them brownie points, but does it add to the movie? No.

This movie is overrated. It's a great true story mangled into a barely-passable movie.
