Unwatchable. This movie was filmed using overblown, overdone "subjective camera" technique. The camera swoons from ground to sky, constantly jiggling and wobbling. All in all, this movie is very tedious to watch. Typically, an "over anxious" camera is used throughout throughout a movie, constantly, in every scene, the purpose is to mask bad sets and bad acting. That holds true here. This entire film could have been made in a single field. Low budget and amateurish are words and phrases that do not reach down far enough to accurately convey this movie. Such a shame that important subject matter would be given such shabby treatment.

Take the world's so-called worst director and a bunch of washed up actors working from a non existent about the Darfur conflict and you would imagine "Darfur" to be a ceulloid travesty, but oh how wrong you would be. Uwe Boll (yes he of Alone In the Dark and Blodrayne fame!) has crafted a movie that is both poignant and thought provoking and once you have seen it it will remain etched in the memory forever. I doubt that a lot of film makers would have the balls to tackle a subject of what has gone on in Sudan but Boll having zero reputation to uphold, really had nothing to loose by making this movie and so has gone full steam ahead with a portrayal of the genocide that is truly harrowing to watch but is presented with such realism and I think that the graphic scenes had to be such as to truly drill the message home to the world. Credit also must go to the cast which includes the likes of Bily Zane, Kristanna Loken and Edward Furlong who were not working from a script so all had to develop their own characters and each one brings a brilliant sense of realism to the movie and I doubt that any of today's crop of Hollywood talent could have done a better job. If "Darfur" had been made by anyone else I think it would have been the talk of the town and a true Oscar candidate but sadly I doubt this movie will ever reach a wide audience as it should and that in my opinion is a true travesty.

This is my review on Uwe Bolls movie Darfur. If you guys know anything about Uwe Boll he uses shock moments to make a movie. Let me say that this is the first thing wrong with Bolls movies. He fills the movie with blood and gore and 0 story line and 0 character development. The only reason I watched this was because i read many reviews on here that said it was good. This movie is about American reporters who go to Darfur to document the atrocities being done to the people. They go to a small village and soon make friends with the towns people. As they are leaving they see a group of arabs who are going to the village (most likely to wipe it out) some try to play hero as others go back to camp. This movie is just absolutely awful. There is zero character development and of course for Uwe Bolls common style of a shaking camera that is constantly moving around. You can never fully tell whats going on in the picture. It makes the movie unwatchable. The only reason for the 3 stars was because it did what it intended to do. It does shock and awe at some points but if your looking for gore skip this. 20 mins of gore 70 mins of bore. Skip this one folks

I saw this film at the Cape Winelands Film Festival in Cape Town last week. I was shocked and stunned by it, so much so in fact that the final scene where there is a spark of life found amongst so much death and destruction made me cry bitterly and for real. I could not sleep nor eat that night ~ the film's brutal imagery ripped my guts out. The basic plot of the film involves a group of international journalists visiting a village and interviewing the inhabitants, so that the atrocities committed by the Janjaweed can be exposed worldwide. When the journalists leave, the Janjaweed arrive and wreak havoc. The journalists are left with a damned if we do, damned if we don't choice: flee or take a stand. All the cast and crew should stand up and take a bow for making a film which highlights the Darfuri genocide by the Janjaweed when no one else would or could. Kudos especially to producer Chris Roland and definitely also to Uwe Boll.

This is my 4th Uwe Boll film review. I've slated the guy in the past - and rightly so - for some of the atrocious and bad films he's made. I gave up at one point watching his films hoping he'd get better....but, as my last review about 'Rampage' stated, Uwe had made something that wasn't complete rubbish and was actually entertaining. Whilst not converting me from a hater, this did give me an open mind to any future works. Which leads us to Darfur. This film can't be called entertaining. It wasn't made to entertain but rather to raise awareness and send a message to people about the atrocities happening in Darfur. I for one had heard of Darfur in the news but knew nothing in detail until looking into to it thanks to this film. This is simply Uwe's best film to date. This is a powerful, gritty, 'in your face' piece of cinema about the situation in Darfur. There is no happiness, no Hollywood ending. I've never found myself so angry and frustrated whilst watching a film. I don't want to watch it again - not because it's not good but because it's not nice to watch. You will feel uncomfortable and rightly so....and herein lies what makes this film very good - it will illicit emotion from you with it's non-sugar coated story telling. My only complaint....and a common one when watching Boll films....is the hand held camera. I don't mind it's use but still Uwe overkills this method. Too much shaking makes little sense. I thought the way this film was made - barely any scripting, the production values - was excellent. So, bravo to you Mr Boll. I think you should step away from video game adaptations and work on original projects as I think when you do this, you can actually show that you are a good film maker.

I've just finished watching this movie and I've never felt strongly enough to actually write a review or commentary on IMDb before. However, after watching this movie, I feel compelled to. Filmed in a style that could almost be mistaken as a documentary, the actors play their parts perfectly. As was said in another review here, this movie is not about the actors but about the people of Dafur and the struggle therein. Uwe Boll has done an amazing job here. I won't go into any detail about the movie but will keep this short and sweet. Watch this movie, you may not enjoy it in the conventional sense but it's a movie that needs to be seen. Once you've seen it, then you'll understand why.

a reviewer here called it "badly made exploitative violence *". and thats exactly what it is. To be more specific: Mr Boll took "idi I smotri" /check it on IMDb/ and thought: lets copy the ultra violence village burning scene 1:1 and stretch into 1 full hour. then we sell it as an "eye opener" and ride the same wave Schindlers List did in the early 90ies. There will also be a whole generation of people who have never seen "Idi I smotri" (or similar movies) and thus will think "Darfur" is unique. furthermore: how could ANYONE possibly ever doubt or criticize the "moral message" Darfur pretends to convey? those people must be either blatant racists or plain inhuman retards. no? perfect! oh .... "SPOILER WARNING"... the first half of the movie is a cheese feast that would almost pass as a parody. one thousand color filtered close ups of smiling children and happy, peaceful villagers. Even the plumpness of "i wear glasses, thus, I am civilized" is not withheld. Some reviewer pointed out,that Boll doesn't care a fart about darfur and their people, and I found this blatantly obvious as well. The other half of this movie is a chaotic gore feast. Boll, always a pioneer in misstepping, has a hundred children and babies slaughtered. And then some more. and why not? its the simple formula of all *: "its disgusting and despicable, but i just cant take my eyes of this woman's lovely breasts. lets have some more". Darfur is indeed a truly cheap attempt to harvest money from the naive, and boll does -again- and admirable job of having no shame to violate anything that is exploitable. I would assume only the very young or blessedly unknowing of any mass market popcorn media truly fall for bolls petty ploy. Everybody else should feel insulted by this fraud of a film. Only the truly nasty laugh and laugh about this movie. like Mr. Boll, when he reads the user reviews by people who felt "truly moved".

Darfur is a terrible movie. Plain and simple. There are a myriad of reasons why Uwe Boll needs to stop making movies. Somehow, "Darfur" maybe worse that Uwe Boll's "Blood Rayne" movies (and that is saying something). I can go on and on about how the pacing in the movie is wonky; how everyone's characterization is lacking; or how it is the most disorganized movie I've ever seen. The most annoying thing about the movie was the cinematography. In a misguided attempt to make it look "realistic", the movie is shown like it was filmed on a camcorder. The camera sways to and fro constantly, even in places where the camera shouldn't be wobbling. It looks more like the camera man was drunk and losing his balance. This is a poorly made movie that is mockery on the subject matter and proof that Uwe Boll needs to stop making movies.

With depressing regularity, the behavior of humans on this planet devolves into something so far removed from those qualities which are supposed to set us apart from the other species that it truly boggles the mind. This movie is an attempt to portray one of those instances of inexplicable behavior, the Darfur Genocide, and it does an excellent job of it. The cover art on the Video release is deceiving, you will not see Billy Zane as an action hero, ala Bruce Willis in Tears of the Sun or Leonardo DiCaprio in Blood Diamond - there is more than enough "action" in the second half, however. This is also not The Killing Fields or Hotel Rwanda; it is somewhat more creative and poignant than those classics because it relies on unscripted dialogue, many actual survivors as actors and because this occurrence in the Sudan is still underway at the present time, unlike the Cambodian and Rwandan instances which were brought to the screen 10 years afterwords. What you have here instead is a somewhat raw microcosm of genocide and the confusion of the world to deal with it; brought to you in a manner which is both immersive and which raises many legitimate questions. You could close your eyes for some parts or leave it out of your DVD player altogether - but you'll be somewhat less of a human for having done so.

After watching this movie, I googled Uwe Boll and found that most of his movies were flops. But for me, all his flops meant nothing and I give him a resounding 10! What a superb story he has told! The cast members which included real survivors were simply amazing! Uwe Boll didn't focus on a blame game in the film. Instead, he focused on the horrors and the effects of the problem. He painted a heart wrenching picture of the sufferings. Director Uwe Boll was successful in waking a feeling of helplessness, anger, and an urgent need to do something about the current situation in Darfur. I think everyone should watch the movie and get a feel for what's happening in that country, and hopefully that will generate enough movement to end the misery of innocent people there.
