Wonderfully offbeat film!

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I can't believe that this film did not make it in the box office, it cost 35 million to make and only grossed 4.5 million. In my humble opinion this has to be Angelina Jolie's best picture ever. The credits in the end sums it up well: "This film is dedicated to all relief workers and the millions of people who are victims of war and persecution. They continue to inspire us all with their courage and will to survive." In one of the emotional revetting scenes she is giving a speech to her peers of UN workers and organizations breaking down while see is recollecting the plight of refugees and the futility of the work being done on their behave. Interestingly, Angelina Jolie did volunteer work for the same United Nations organization her character plays in the film. She was ultimately named a UN goodwill ambassador and in 2003 published some journals she wrote of her experiences, titled "Notes from My Travels", to raise funds for refugee relief.

I have decided to write a review about this movie because I want to encourage more people to watch it. I think it's a great movie, worth watching. It's about true love, courage and people who don't just want to make a difference, they are actually doing it. This movie left me sad, but inspired. People who think it's bad probably just don't get it. They can't see the point.. And, also, choose carefully when you are going to watch this kind of a movie. If you don't want to think at the time you are watching it, you probably won't like it because this movie wants you to think. Clive and Angelina both did a great job. One more reason to watch it - they both look very nice.All in all - definitely worth watching.

I loved this film. It reminded me of emotionally-stirring epics from past eras -- Dr. Zhivago, Gone With the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia. Perhaps that's why the cynical and heartless critics trashed it ... the romance is old fashioned, idealistic and pure; the characters are not addicted to alcohol, drugs or senseless shopping; there are no grunting sex scenes. The violence has a point. And yes, Angelina's character always looks too fashionably good and clean and gorgeous to be true to the horrific circumstances she finds herself in.It's a weeper, for sure. An eye-opener for the ignorant, uninformed and uncaring consumers of modern capitalism. A call to arms. Definitely not a typically pointless 21st Century American movie. Thankfully, Oliver Stone didn't get to direct.See it. Take out your handkerchiefs and your cheque books. This film might actually change your life.

My sister had tried to get me to watch this movie several times, so finally, I relented. Am I ever glad that I did. Not to mention a great story line, the acting is incredible, and the casting is wonderful. Being a movie fan, I knew, however, that one of the main characters were more than likely going to die. I kept thinking it would be Nick (Clive Owen) who died, but when Sarah (Angelina Jolie) stepped on the land mine, I thought, "Oh, no". I had to actually stop the movie several times, so that I could calm down. When the soldier gave the baby the hand grenade, I had to stop the movie once again, just to cry, then I resumed. It is truly one of the most heart wrenching movies that I have ever seen. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see an excellent movie.
