An exhilarating thriller which includes the murder of an activist seeking justice regarding a controversial drug and the exploits of her husband to seek whoever killed her.
It is an okay film, not a thriller by any means. A bit hard to follow at first as it moves around in time so you don't know what happened when. It is slow moving and not convincing. It could have been a very good story, with a lot of…

Meirelles is such a wonderful director. There is an easy flow of images that are so expressive, and he uses Africa not as picturesque landscape (as in Out of Africa) but as a living presence. Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz play so well…
The first time I saw it, I thought the movie slow and boring and almost turned it off, but it picked up pace in the end. The second time I saw it, what I really saw was an intense love story. At first, the wife looked like she was just…

I couldn't believe the bond between British diplomat Justin and his murdered wife Tessa was that strong. They were not made for each other to begin with. Tessa seems an immature, self-centered, self-righeous person. Too many charactors…
regarding whether this is fiction: The reality is much much worse. Big Pharma rules. Period. This industry has no choice but to pursue profits over people--its the system--they are accountable only to the stock price: by law. The FDA is…

Simply an amazing film!!
I love Le Carre, there is no happy ending and intrigue is thicker than the blood that is spilled.
The story is haunting actually, it kind of stays with you. Makes you know why fairytails exist, to give you that…
