    I find it hard to believe that a woman would risk leaving her children orphaned in order to go to a war zone and find her missing husband. That being said, the war scenes were very graphic and realistic.

    i loved the film the 1st time i watched it.
    not so much in my second time but its still powerful.
    its not believable but some scenes are disturbing.

    Very good movie. Good story and very good acting by Adrien, Andie and Brendan. Can be disturbing at times and has some very graphic scenes, but well worth seeing. Makes you have a better appreciation for those that risk their life to capture photos of countries that are at war!

    I totally agree with Mr. Fetzer's review. Adrian Brody is always outstanding although in my opinion was miscast. I couldn't appreciate Elias Koteas' performance. It just wasn't there. I still have mixed feelings about Andie MacDowell. As in all of her movies it seems she doe...( read more)s okay but doesn't reach any higher. This movie does a tremendous job of depicting the utter tragedy of war also known as "ethnic cleansing." Special note of Gerry's small contribution makes me smile.

    This movie was good, the war scenes were very realistic and disturbing. I think the actors were great, but I don't think it's a great movie, there's just something that's missing.. But overall a good movie!

Critic Reviews


March 15, 2002
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Director Elie Chouraqui, who co-wrote the script, catches the chaotic horror of war, but why bother if you're going to subjugate truth to the tear-jerking demands of soap opera? full review

March 15, 2002
Claudia Puig, USA Today

It's the unsettling images of a war-ravaged land that prove more potent and riveting than the unlikely story of Sarah and Harrison. full review

March 15, 2002
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

The picture, despite impeccable intentions, is an oddly mixed bag. full review

March 15, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The scenes of carnage are so well-staged and convincing that they make the movie's story even harder to believe. full review

March 14, 2002
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

MacDowell, whose wifty Southern charm has anchored lighter affairs ... brings an absolutely riveting conviction to her role. full review
