If theres nowt else on........
By a customer from Oxford , 19 Jan 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
I'll start by getting straight down to brass taxes. I didnt dislike this film. I didnt love it, but iv seen alot worse this year already (no names mentioned #Ahem: Vantage point#)
The budget wasnt especially high but the story itself is interesting enough without it, more so as its mostly true (Great caption at the start which says 'only the most outrageous parts of the story are true'.). Had it not been true i would probably drop another star off it. But on educational purposes alone I would have thought this film would have been ATLEAST cinema worthy. It raises HUGE questions about the UN's role in serbia aswell as applying it to the modern day war on terror. But if that doesnt tickle your pickle then there's a few laughs thrown in along the way (The indian UN officer and the Midget, shellsuit ridden gangster) , and also Gere is as reliable as ever to pull you into the story.
The that fact that it was more or less straight to DVD is hardly a ringing endorsement for any film, but dont let that put you off. It does try to be a bit 'in bruges' with its dark humour yet very rarely pulls it off. But if you've exhausted all your top titles for the month, and you fancy a film that will have you thinking for a while after it's finished, then you should go for it.

(80)Middle of the road... acting and story.
By Bootie (16 reviews) from Aberdeen , 14 Dec 2011Average film at best. Not a very compelling story and Gere strolled through not really pushing his acting ability to the limit. The story never really grips you and you don't actually feel a connection to the characters. Not a wasted watch but one I would not have missed.- Was this review helpful to you?

Watch it
By andymos (64 reviews) from worcestershire , 27 Nov 2011This would probably come across as a little ordinary were it not based closely on the hunt for Radovan Karadzic and the plausible acting of the three lead stars. However, this was a well contrived screenplay, well delivered and kept the interest throughout. Well worth watching.- Was this review helpful to you?

Well worth a watch
By boxbound (2 reviews) from Kendal , 18 Sep 2011I found this film really enthralling, each actor plays to their own merit and the concept of the film is in itself very interesting. I will certainly be recommending this to friends :)- Was this review helpful to you?

Interesting and worth watching
By SusieP (127 reviews) from Leeds , 09 Sep 2011Not one of my favourite Richard Gere films but I did enjoy it and as usual his performance is great. Good and unusual mix of actors works well together and the three main leads spark off each other pretty well. Good story and quite tense at times with lots of humour too.- Was this review helpful to you?
