Tockinit not horrible nor great
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
saraccan This is great movie that talks about how big pharmaceuticals are actually no different than arms dealers or oil companies and how Europe rapes Africa.This movie obviously didn't change the world but it can certainly open people's mind to the subject.
Neelam Macwan I'm writing this review after 12 years of release as I watched it recently and I loved it,it shook me. I'm a fan of love stories and this one is so true to reality. Amazing acting by Ralph and Rachel. Ralph had smitten me with his acting and portrayal of the husband who loved his wife dearly that he went to lengths for his love and humanity. The nearby reality of African nations was woven beautifully in this story. I didn't miss it for a single minute. I wished Ralph would have won an Oscar for his role. I never see Indian movies with true to its roots and that's why I liked this movie so much. Kudos to Ralph.
Nikita Wannenburgh It wasn't a nice film, but it was a masterpiece all the same. It lacked Hollywood glamour, which was a relief, and portrayed the agony and horror of its circumstances brilliantly. I didn't love it, and I can't say I enjoyed it, but I definitely respect it for being a very well done piece of art. It was haunting, heart-breaking, and intelligent, with a very strong script, tight dialogue, and brilliant cinematography. Seriously, the cinematography was incredible; creative and clever. It was suspenseful, but that only really picked up about halfway through. Still, there was always the hint of something not right, and plenty of unanswered questions to keep us guessing. Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz gave exceptional performances. Raw, honest acting, with Weisz proving she was definitely worthy of her resulting Oscar AND Golden Globe award. I'm a big fan of Rachel Wesiz anyway, but she was purely outstanding in this film. She portrayed an energetic, often annoying, but always passionate young woman, with much more to her than meets the eye. Overall, it was an intelligent, gut-wrenching thriller with a firm emotional core and lead actors who gave it their all. Very impressive.
Mmentzer1991 This honestly was a terrible movie I'm a big movie guy so I go to Salvation Army or Goodwill and buy movies buy the box load n what I like I keep and what I don't I return and this is definitely going back. It starts off with a teacher dating (n later marrying) one of his students and she's like a real big "left wing" liberal "save the people" type and they end up in Africa and she dies, but the story goes like backwards from before she dies and the whole time she's with this black African that I never could tell if she was "with", while she's married. I couldn't even sit and watch the whole movie the plot was Absolutely terrible, I shut it off half way through the only thing I give it is it's got the visual and audio techniques of a big budget film, but as far as the story goes; terrible. The cover of the DVD box way exaggerated the film. Save yourself the time.
