Great Movie!

This movie never got that much attention. It stars Angelina Jolie and Clive Owen before he got famous!

The story is absolutely moving and real, these things happen people, every day, all over the globe.

One of the few movies that I own and I own way too many, that I have watched over and over!

Great film, amazing acting! May 18, 2008

Solid Effort; Years of Living Dangerously

I hate bleeding-heart melodramas set in third-world countries starring Hollywood beauty-queens, BUT this one has a lot going for it. Amazingly, the dialog is good and the set-up works. The doctor has all the same objections to the do-gooders that any cynic might have, so one feels relieved of the duty of finding fault with the rich, guilt-ridden Jolie character who heads off to Africa with a truck-load of goodies. It is a brutal bit of realistic footage - those starving babies aren't actors! The film has a bit of honor and may even have done some good, although I doubt it. Still, it is a worthy piece of agitprop theatre, just the kind of thing you'd expect Miss Jolie to be part of, but here she pulls it off with flair. December 14, 2007

TRASH & GARBAGE!!!!!!!

Too much cursing, profanity, adultery, and fornication! Need I say more... Angelina Jolie is a married woman who goes off to another country and has a secret love affair while her husband and child think she's off on some humanitarian trip. I hesitated when I saw her on the cover because she tends to flaunt her adulterous and bi-sexaul behavior. I got it because I like Clive Owen and I like movies filmed in Africa. It's not a family movie because they swear and curse a lot and has too much killing. I think it would have turned out better without the bad language and without the adultery and fornication.

A story that has particular relevence to real people in the real world makes it's leading man such a fake action hero and expects his attitude to not detract from the realism of the situations and even expects you to like him. Whatever romance is supposed to be seen in the mutual martyrdom of the couple is hard to find given the two do not appear to have made each other happy even for a second of the film's duration and even when the dude makes his declaration of love speech he expresses no warmth. It also seems like the kind of movie that's gone through so many rewrites and re-edits than even the people working on it have no idea what it's supposed to be anymore. August 6, 2007
