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.

This was absolutely one of the best movies I have seen in a long time after "discovering" the intensely dark and handsome Clive Owen In "King Arthur", I wanted MORE of him and started looking up his movies to rent/OWN? When saw the story line for this one HAD to check it out and my husband and I watched such a tragic-(because these situations are based on true life people and the suffering they're enduring as I write this), coupled by Nick's losing battle to save whom he can and Angelina's heart goes out to his cause enough to bring her to the front-lines to help. I had to cover my eyes in some parts, not being able to watch some of the horrors of surgery w/o anesthesia in a hospital as backwards as something out of the Old West and a baby ripped from it's mother by angry soldiers and having a live hand grenade tossed in it's hands only to have the pin pulled by the child by accident, thus taking the life of Nick's partner in his attempt to save the child's life by being shot by the soldier in cold blood. The starving, sick people who are helpless and in constant siege by the horrors of war and supplies that cannot get to them. I cried with Nick and Sarah, I was seduced by the emotion of their love for each other and was left saddened in the end that Nick would probably never make his daughter aware that he is her real father because he knew it would likely make matters worse for her if she knew. The images in this film will be with me for days to come!!!! Beautiful movie that showed compassion, strength to do what you know is right against all odds and that love is possible no matter WHERE you are!!!! Clive and Angelina were beautiful together and it's been sometime since a movie moved me to utter tears!!!!

When I first saw this I teared up at how real it was. I wish that it made it to the cinemas. Angelina Jolie does a good job at pulling off her role it some what resembles the work she does in real life, I was very impressed. I really wish films like this would be made more often to open people up about whats really going on in the world. 6.0 stars! thats really sad, this film should have at least earned 7.5. The scenes in Africa make me cry. I was captivated until the very end, and not disappointed. Although its rated R I really recommend this film many ages main thing cursing, Clive Owen's part but it really is a powerful movie for all ages.

Well... Iam a big fan of Angelina Jolie , I think as whole the movie was acceptable , but really it was very provoking and irresponsible from Angelina's character (Sarah) , you can really see her making very bad calls that shouldn't come from someone who works in helping others and have such great responsibility towards suffering people , for example her decision to leave her kids and go to find her love in Afghanstan , that was pretty irresponsible and unfaithful too , but if you evaluate it from from the romantic dreamer point of view you might consider her a martyr which is something that really provokes me knowing that by her wrong call she deprived her kids from mother care and also unrealistic of her to believe that she can go in a conflict torn region , do the work of an entire army and survive a zillion bullets and get the man back . Overall the acting was good but i didn't think Clive Owen was the best choice (Too much cursing for someone who is a peace keeper!) i think i give this one a 7/1.
