this film be sheer boredom from begin to end . ok and so i salute boorman for raise the worldwide recognition of event in burma and but that be all he achieve . about 10 minute into the film i think oh no and here we go again and and i could have tell you exactly what be go to occur in the next 80 minute or so . patricia arquette be out of her depth in such a role and and her acting be wooden and unconvincing . mind you and be saddle with such an awfully conventional script and maybe boredom set in and and be such reflect on the screen . a lot of the film be just plain laughable . at one stage and arquette elderly companion be shot and and he be prostrate on the ground . in the next scene and he be sprint through the forest and obviously attempt to break the world 100 meter record . or maybe he just try to run away from boorman . if you find it hard to sleep one night then play beyond rangoon on your vcr and you will be snore in no time . i very rarely critisize a film as heavily a this and but in this case it be completely justified .
