  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 »

  I found this a good and thought provoking film. Well acted and a powerful message behind all the drama. Aptly titled.

  Brilliant, I loved this film and was transfixed. Angelina and Clive are both excellent in this film, and work well together. Clive is also nice to look at.
