Simply Perfect

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Goodness, I loved this movie when I watched it as a teen.But that was *because* I was a teen. And Jolie was pretty, and Owen was handsome. And they did noble things, they rescued people. What more could you want, right? Right?? I didn't see back then how offensive this film is. It's a romance, you see. Yes it is. But it makes a haunted face to convince you it's something more.And the reason I say this is because the film's setting is the Third World. Specifically, several different aid camps with thousands of hungering locals. But this has little impact on the main characters as people. It just works to push or staunch their affair.Owen, an aid worker, comes to London to fight for founding - so that Jolie can be impressed and help him out. Jolie rescues a child on her way to the camp - so that Owen sees she's wonderful and instantly falls for her. These are just plot devices.I thought it was pretty distasteful.There's also zero chemistry between the leads. Don't know how on Earth they achieved it, seeing how jaw-droppingly attractive they both are. Perhaps thanks to the script that gives their characters depth of overcooked shrimps.Summing up: RUN!!!

Angelina Jolie and Clive Owens put such a great touch on this production with their truly convincing acting. They both seem to have personal investments in relief work for the refugees throughout the world and it came through in the film. Each new camp brought a special set of increasingly difficult obstacles for both to overcome. Him in his work, her in the love she felt for him.Through the corruption, disease, war and death the film takes you to places you haven't been before. Touching my very soul at some points it invoked all of my emotions and then some.It portrays the sad apathetic nature of governments turning a blind eye to human suffering in famine and war. A must see for the empathetic film viewer.

I just watched this movie last night and I just have to say WOW.'Beyond Borders' is such a good movie, the writing is excellent... the story really pulls at your heartstrings.The actors do an amazing job bringing this story to life.The war violence and the danger were believable and well-done... I was captivated from the very first frame of the movie... it just draws you in and won't let go. Some people may not like the ending but I was glad they did it in a realistic way, 'cause this stuff does happen sometimes.Clive Owen played the stubborn/charismatic/compassionate character wonderfully, I don't anyone could've done a better job.... and Angelina is a wonderful actress, she pours a lot of passion into her character into the movie as well. Its nice when actors just disappear into a role :)I cannot recommend this movie any higher... It takes its time telling the story, which suits it nicely, but don't turn it off right away, if this movie had been fast-paced, it would've ruined the experience *if that makes sense ;-)* It's a pity this movie wasn't more well-received at the box office.

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.
