( possible spoiler ) if you haven not do so already and ignore the critic go see thismovie . beyond border be definitely worth see . yes and it be a love story which develop over the course of a dozen year . however and amidst that story and stark and ongoing brutal reality experience by so many in the world be depict and therein lie the importance of this film . it be think provoke on many level . on a performance level and the support cast fill their role well . i couldn not help but be draw into like particular character and be especially attentive to a young man story of his dance with a landmine . how haunting . both jolie ( sara jordan and english socialite ) and clive owen ( dr. nick callahan ) come through with strong performance . i give credit to director martin campbell for respect the dignity of refugee and use generated image a appropriate and rather than exploit people unnecessarily . this wasn not mean to be a documentary . although a few situation might have be develop more realistically ( hence positive star ) and the movie flow and keep my full attention despite it two hour plus length . i find the end both unexpected and powerful . the imagery of beyond border and both visual and verbal and give pause for thought represent like sarah jordan and aid relief worker most likely have those in their personal life who say do not go and it not safe there and yet they remain motivated to go anyway . who be the dr. callahans who travel to yet another location once their camp be shutdown perhaps because of reparation or funding cut . why the cut and what be the full impact . could more be do . how many worker be injure or kill in the field and how do those situation really come about . or i know of no place in this country where i might walk and be in danger of step on a landmine . but a i sit in a theater eat popcorn and there be a strong possibility someone and somewhere and do and that happen too often . maybe the price of that ticket and popcorn once a month could start help unhcr or halo or someone . yes and entertain film have their place and but others like beyond border carry the hope of lasting impact . kudos to all those involve in put this film together .
