i be very surprised to see the good rating for this movie . i watch the film 9 year ago and i still remember how angry i felt to sit in the movie theatre and to look at this mess . i be a big fan of john boorman work . i really like his movie . so i go to beyond rangoon with big expectation . but i felt like watch a dumb and cheap chuck norris jungle movie with all action scene cut out . even the soundtrack be very annoy . i can not believe that john boorman be the director because this movie be so badly do . i think the burmese people deserve good film to illustrate their struggle .
