4.0 out of 5 stars A lot better than I expected, July 13 2004

This review is from: Beyond Borders (DVD)

I was expecting the worst when it came to this movie. I am a fan of Angelina Jolie, but it didn't do very well at the box office and I didn't really hear anything about it.

Well, none of that matters because this is a very good movie. Angelina does a good job here, as does Clive Owen, her love interest. The story was interesting and eye-opening. It kept my attention even though this isn't a lightning-paced movie. I wanted to know what would happen to Angelina's character. I was also surprised by a few twists that happen unexpectedly. There's a key scene midway through the movie that doesn't mean a lot at the time, but perfectly foreshadows something that happens later on.

I highly recommend this movie. It was very entertaining and it really did make you think. I'm not a big fan of movies like this, but this is an exception. It should have been a bigger hit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Schock film!, July 8 2004

This review is from: Beyond Borders (DVD)

This movie is deeply bitter. It's touchimg and it deals with a premise that we forget too many times , inmersed as we are in our daily activities.
In a beautiful wedding a doctor will suddenly appear and will denounces the injustice for having denied them an important amount of money for the homeless and poor people from Africa.
This breakthrough will twist the life of Sarah Jordan (Angelina Jolie) and she will become the most exhaustive fighter for this noble cause.
Campbell makes a good and haunting movie , even there are some irrelevant scenes , but you never miss the interest in the story . Obviously this world of injustice will generate the unavoidable atraction between them .
Jolie gives a very realistic portrait.
The rest of the story runs for you .
Interesting story , above the average .

This movie is very good! I will have to say, to the individuals who are watching it for the first time, pay attention to every detail because it makes the ending pack more punch! Even though the ending is sad...I think the movie is well done and Angelina Jolie's performance is OUTSTANDING!!! Enjoy...

4.0 out of 5 stars Miscast. But well ploted. And it's also eye-opening.
The worst thing about the film is the casting. Angelina Jolie is very pretty and I've enjoyed her performances in several films. Read more
