Movie Haiku:Zwick wears his social conscience on his sleeve, using star power to transform his action/adventure flick into a powerful look at life in modern Africa. Hounsou is extraordinary as a straight-ahead family man caught in a deadly vise, with strong back-up from smuggler DiCaprio & journalist Connelly. Bravo, Bedford Falls!
