Review of The Constant Gardener (2005) by Davec. — 15 Dec 2005
Some of the faux-English mannerisms in the film made me wince (somebody get a British screenwriter) while some of the narrative delineations were more smug than interesting, Rachel Weizs character meanwhile is idealised.
That aside however, I thought this was a timely film which grips you from the very beginning. Pacing, strong performances and skillful direction, these elements combine to make a highly entertaining thriller, so much so that its easy to forgive the lack of dimension to the lead characters and the film's overall fancifulness.
