March 7, 2008'Good Morning. my name is Angelina Jolie, and I am here to save the dying nation of Africa, bring McDonald's to the masses, and maybe get some good shots of me in while I'm at it'.
Enough ranting. Basically, it tries to be controversial and fails. The acting is acceptable (Jolie...( read more) -
June 9, 2007When you're watching starving, diseased people who die in droves daily for most of the movie, it feels strange saying that this is a "great" movie, even though that's what it is.
If you ever feel sorry for yourself, watch this for about half an hour and I bet your outlook will...( read more) -
February 24, 2007It's great that the movie tries to bring awareness to the issues in Africa but the movie comes out looking shallow and self absorbed

November 20, 2009Unlike the "Notebook", Jolie and Owen have a connection on screen. this film was one of the most daring and original Romanctic-Dramas I saw . I thought Jolie had finally turned into the Actress everyone thought she would be and was!
The acting was almost pin-point perfect, bu...( read more) -
October 15, 2009Zasto toliko volim ovaj film...? Jer je film po meni pomalo dokumentaristickog karaktera, ljubavna prica je izmijesana sa socijalnom; ona nije klasicna, vec ljubav koja se ne moze ostvariti i zato je tako stvarna i jaka.. njenu sam jacinu osjetila u svom srcu, a Angelina svojom u...( read more)

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Beyond Borders has good intentions and wants to call attention to the plight of refugees, but what a clueless vulgarization it makes of its worthy motives. full review
October 24, 2003
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Beyond Borders so trivializes the plight of the world's displaced peoples that it becomes actively obnoxious. full review
October 24, 2003
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The movie is mired in its good intentions, and ends up looking opportunistic and gauche. full review
October 23, 2003
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The formula that gave life to such poignant and powerful films as The Killing Fields and The Year of Living Dangerously this time results in something closer to parody. full review

November 3, 2007I loved that movie. Usually movies where people are having affairs really turn me off. Besides being a love story, we see the sacrifices people make for the less fortunate. But also, a lot of people can relate to the personal side of it. Bring tissues.

January 31, 2007This is a great movie. Both Angelina Jolie and Clive Owens were a great choice. The storyline goes into depth between the romance between the two and the problem that many people in world go through such as Poverty, War. Its a real eye opener.The music throughtout the movie has been beautifully composed and goes well with the movie. This move and Jolie have inspired me to consider becoming an Aid-Relief Worker when I'm older.

July 16, 2006Sarah Jordan & Nick Callahan Together, they would face the most forsaken lands on the globe, and become caught up in conflicts that raged around the world. Armed with compassion, mercy, and indomitable will, they would risk all they had, driven by their increasing passion for each other and their lives' humanitarian work.
