Beyond Borders
Director Martin Campbell (GOLDENEYE) balances a romantic tale, serious political commentary, and beautifully shot scenery from exotic locations in BEYOND BORDERS. Oscar winner Angelina Jolie gives a moving performance inspired by her real-life U.N. work, and has the perfect romantic foil in Clive Owen. Ostensibly a tale of romance triumphing against the odds, this is in fact a multifaceted story that deals with its various topics in a visually arresting style.
BEYOND BORDERS follows the problematic blossoming romance between busy American socialite Sarah Jordan (Jolie), and rogue doctor Nick Callahan (Owen). The two initially meet in 1984 at a charity event in London. Sarah is still flushed with excitement from her recent marriage, but is nevertheless enchanted by Nick's impassioned speech on behalf of starving children in Ethiopia. Sarah decides to help the cause in Africa, meeting Nick there and sparking a romantic connection which is cut short because of family and work commitments. Four years later, Sarah finds herself alone after a torrid divorce. Her work for the United Nations now consumes her thoughts, and when the chance to travel to war-torn Cambodia--and reunite with Nick--arises, it proves too good to turn down. The two immediately hit it off, but Nick's commitment to his work once again causes them to separate. Five more years pass, and when Sarah receives a call that Nick has been captured and made a prisoner of war in Chechnya, she realises she has one more chance to rescue her man, and to rekindle the passion.

First Class Storytelling
This got a right hammering in the press, and I just can't see why. The story about aide workers and the conditions they work under makes the film well worth... read more »

Beyond Boredom
A really simplistic view of aid, international development and civil war. The non-western characters are either stereotypical victims or monsters. Simple ... read more »

Disgusted. Not what it says on the tin.
Love Clive Owen and films about development, such as 'Constant Gardener' and 'Blood Diamond', but this pales into insignificance in comparison. ... read more »

Angelina: An all-action hero
- 17 Aug 2010
The last time Angelina Jolie was mixing it up with Russian spies she was fighting to keep hearth and home together, playing Matt Damon’s much-abused wife in The Good Shepherd. Robert De Niro’s underrated drama didn’t offer Jolie an awful lot of screen time, but she tore into her big scene, ripping up the emotions the man in her life had buried too far beneath his dutiful surface. Playing alongside Damon, Michael Gambon, Billy Crudup and De Niro himself, Jolie’s presence Read more
