i want to like this film . sydney pollack be a liberal mind director with an interesting filmography . but i find myself ask why kidman have to play the part and not a black actress . she never convince a a half african fighter for freedom in the disguise of an interpreter . too many compromise pollack hint at something like this in the dvd special and no thrill . the end be neither touch nor thrill . the alternative end which you can find on the dvd be even bad a naive dreamer version of what politics should be like . technically a perfect film and a for the content represent unconvincing and flat . sorry sydney and but the un a a location be not enough a a concept for a convincing political film .
