5.0 out of 5 stars Love among desolation
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2010

I have viewed this movie a few times. I am a romantic aside from loving movies and appreciating excellent acting. Who is better these days other than Clive Owen and/or Javier Bardem. I have most of their DVDs. Angelina was excellent in this movie and she and Clive Owen had wonderful chemistry. It might not have been an award winning film, and of course having Angeline, being so gorgeous wanting to be involved in relief and someone looking like Clive Owen, might have been a bit of a stretch.

It brought across many important topics of disease, starvation. third world countries and people who devote their lives to this cause. Both of their presences on the screen were over powering. I wish this had been based on a book and you were able to read their inner most feelings. All the special features and commentaries were extremely fascinating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing Story
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2005

This movie was not nearly as bad as I expected it to be--in fact, it was quite engrossing and, like other reviewers, I found that it stayed with me after it was over. I would agree that Angelina Jolie was probably miscast but she did a respectable job and Clive Owen was dead on. The scenes of mass starvation, corrupt officials, rebel leaders destroying their own people, brutality and political connivance and venality were all stunning and very well presented--believable and appalling. I am glad there was a romance, however brief or star-crossed, to provide a little relief from the otherwise overwhelming grimness. Further, I can't imagine any American audience going to see a film of totally unrelieved misery, as one reviewer seemed to be suggesting they would do. The plot did have some gaps which could have been filled in better for the understanding of what was really going on in the bizantine world of international relief but I think they did the best they could without extending the film beyond reason. In all, I found the story held my interest and I actually cared about the central characters (and not just Jolie and Owen) and the romance, as are many in such circumstances, was quite poignant. Worth seeing.

I disliked the ending. However, overall It was a good portrayal of missionary work and the dangers they may face. Also, the refugees who risk shelter and hunger to get away from the violent forces taking over their countries. I truly believe the passion depicted by both leading actors was real.

Very moving film. The acting was great all-round, with important message about the suffering in the world. A realistic film. At first I thought it might be too real for me and I might not want to see it, but I stayed with it and am glad I did.

The movie production, the story or plot about the problems in the social, political, religious, health areas and the wars stories are truth and they are actually happening nowadays, every year and since the world remembers, human beings have being fighting about land, water, religious believes, women, power, control, etc, etc, etc. That is clear, historical times are accurate, locations are and the performance were good also...but...there is the "BUT",,,,
1. All the social work, all the money, all the donations, all the programs are so muddy, everything since the beginning shows the hypocrisy of the society and most importantly "the socialite" the rich people spending thousands of dollars to give food and medicines to other people that don't have any, but they spend maybe more than they give, in these kinds of galas and parties in which those situations don't really mean anything to almost or none of them.
2. Hollywood is showing the problems that socialism, guerrillas, corruption not only in government but also in organizations like CIA, FBI, DEA, etc, are doing, not helping the people but destroying the countries and everybody in it because they want the money, power, control, and more wars. They are also showing the power of "GUNS" if you idon't have any, you don't have the possibility to defend yourselves from those corrupted groups at all. BUT ALL HOLLYWOOD IS ASKING WITH THE GOVERNMENT TO GIVE UP THE GUNS!!! TO GIVE UP USA TO SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM, TO ACCEPT ALL KINDS OF CORRUPTION!!! Seriously, what's wrong with that part of the picture???
3. Then the plot was involving a love story that it was out of marriage, and then a baby as a consequence of fornication out of the marriage!!! What a beautiful example of a love story right? We all will like our children live that kind of love stories. We all would like to live that kind the pain, a horrible marriage and infidelity of each of all.
Everybody sins, all of us are sinners, but why do they have to make it like if it was a good thing, and that love, is more important than the children that will suffer in the future for those consequences. That is not real love, that is selfishness and even more if you hurt others. In this story in particular husband/wife/lover all of them are a mess, husband cheating with his wife, then she cheats on him and then she has a baby with the lover while she's till married and she left her husband to save her lover. It is really messed up story.
Nowadays there are not movies of encouragement, or movies that tell the truth and teach something good or leave a good thing, this movie, doesn't leave anything good and at the end, that's why didn't even collect a third of the investment.

It's not perfectly done. There are some cheezy aspects, like Angie in the white outfit (not necessary), but it will make you think – deeply, about who you are and what you're going to do with this life you're living.

5.0 out of 5 stars Endlich mal ein Film mit Tiefgang!
Reviewed in Germany on August 26, 2004

Bevor ich mit der eigentlichen Rezession beginne, möchte ich zuerst an all diejenigen appellieren die den Film nicht gesehen haben oder besser gesagt nicht sehen wollten weil sie den Namen Angelina Jolie nur auf die vollbusige Cyberfigur Lara Croft beschränken, und dabei leider vergessen, daß wir es hier mit einer realen Person zu tun haben und die meisten Leute keine Ahnung haben, daß die Figur der Sarah Beaufort die sie in diesem Film verkörpert viel mehr mit ihrem wahren Leben zu tun hat, als mit dem einer Comicfigur.
Zum Film selber kann ich nur sagen, daß ich ihn wirklich sehr gelungen finde. Traurig und erschreckend zugleich ist nur, daß solche Dinge wirklich tagtäglich passieren und es dennoch leider noch immer für viele ein Tabu Thema ist. Man braucht sich deshalb auch nicht zu wundern warum der Film im Kino kein Kassenschlager war, wenn dreiviertel unserer Bevölkerung mit Schallklappen durch die Gegend laufen! Außerdem, glaube ich auch gar nicht, daß der Sinn und Zweck des Films darin liegt als Kassenerfolg zu gelten, sondern eher darin, daß er die Leute zum Nachdenken bringen soll!
Auch von den Schauspielern selber bin ich sehr positiv beeindruckt. Beide spielen sehr überzeugend und auch die Liebesgeschichte die von vielen als überflüssig und unreal bezeichnet wird ist meiner Meinung sehr wohl ein wichtiger Bestandteil dieses Filmes, weil ohne diese würde der Film wohl eher wie eine Dokumentation wirken und ich glaube das wollte man damit vermeiden. Außerdem finde ich, daß eine tolle Chemie zwischen Clive Owen und Angelina Jolie herrscht, die es schafft einen so richtig mitleiden zu lassen.

This isn't an A+ movie, but there is something about it, that keeps drawing you to it. Of course, the theme, of third world countries' suffering and lack of help, the scandal of governments and the atrocities are all true and made very realistic.

The acting by the excellent Clive Owen, Angelina Jolie and others in smaller roles, whose names I don't even know, were magnificent I thought. The scenery, not shot on location was all so very real. I thought the screenplay was excellent, the story starting and moving forward, and a beautiful, denied love story. I think the choice of Owen and Jolie was superb, that you really believed them and forgot they were characters acting. I don't think that any actor, except Clive Owen, in his craft, could have looked at his daughter that way, at the end.

I only wish it was made from a book, I could have read first, to feel their inner most feelings.
