An extraordinary story about drug trade, drug experiments, the value of human life in Africa. The acting is very good.

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…

Just a little too weird for my taste.

A good but not great film. It could have been much better.

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…

Old production. Not entertaining enough.

Amazing movie--and sad to see that 10 years after this movie was made Big Pharma is still ascendant and making money off of poor, sick people. Suspenseful, well-acted, and moving.

Overly long and politicized movie who's main message seems to be Africans good and Westerners bad. A simple minded movie where everything is black or white, good or bad with nothing in between or any shades of grey allowed. Skip this movie…

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…

While it says something important, it does not fully entertain.

Overall, “The Constant Gardener” was a good story. However, I found the element of self-sacrificing love a bit overdone and unbelievable.

excellent from all counts. A great story, which has a lot of truth to it from my reading. The acting is superb. The photography fantastic.

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…

Quite a drama. I just hope it's a pure fiction and there is no grain of fact in it.

Good movie hard to follow but makes you think and wonder about businesses and profits at any cost.

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…

Well worth watching.
