My initial reaction to the Constant Gardener was rather tepid. The almost anarchic wife of a british diplomat who keeps breaking the rules, how boring...
But there are many things that set this movie above the rest, fine performances by Ralph Fiennes & Rachel Weisz (she won an Oscar for this role), very realistic somewhat raw imagery from some of the poorest parts of Africa, great music and last but not the least, the very interesting premise or plotline. So, do big pharma companies take advantage of poor people in the third world, they probably do. The movie also reminded me of why Africa always makes me sad, I dont think there is any other place on the planet that attracts such misery, wish we could fix it...
Go see this one.
