Departing from his usual preoccupations and locales, André Téchiné explores the plight of the would-be immigrant in this credible, but unfocused drama. Employing a digi-video style for added immediacy, he concentrates on the human drama rather than dwelling on its socio-political considerations, while bringing unbearable tension to the drug smuggling and money laundering sequences. Yet, a surfeit of subplots distracts from the central premise, which sees trucker Stéphane Rideau promise to smuggle Mohamed Hamaidi from Tangiers to Spain if he can effect a reconciliation with Rideau's estranged girlfriend, Lubna Azabal, a Jew whose wealthy brother wants her to emigrate to Canada.

A change of pace for Cruise and Kidman, after the dismal Days of Thunder, with this old-fashioned period romance. In... read more on Time Out

Is it a Film you're looking for Joseph?
Watched this ages ago but only recently on dvd. What can I say-good good film. Nicole is believable. Tom is not bad-the accents in my opinon are good. The plot is a typical epic romantic historical film-as dad puts it 'its Titanic if the iceberg hadn't hit'
Give this film a try-its worth it. The scenery in Ireland is well shot and the soundtrack fits the scenes and story in a complimentary way.
No complaints-at all. Good film-if you enjoyed films like Titanic, Ned Kelly and gritty westerns-then give this a try as it combines the best elements of these films. -

I couldn't even get it working
As an adult for 11 years, I didn't consider that a DVD may have parental controls. This one does! I have seen this film many times before and I do think it is a great film, but someone at Universal needs their butt kicking after making it so difficult to watch this DVD.

Connery has worst movie accent
- 31 Aug 2009
Sir Sean Connery's Irish-American accent in 1987 film The Untouchables has been voted the worst of all time in a new poll. The former James Bond star played a cop in the hit movie and received an Academy Award for his turn - despite failing to lose his native Scottish dialect. Connery's role saw off competition from Kevin Costner's portrayal of the English folk hero in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, with his American accent landing him second place in the survey by a U.S. ticket agency.
