    I would like to use the phrase "intorable cruelty" here. A strong film about the unbelievable things people can do to each other, and more importantly the even more unbelievable forgiveness the new rulers of South Africa displayed when dealing with the old apartheid-regime. Interesting characters make this a movie to remember, my only problem is the unnecessary lovestory crammed in there ala Hollywood. But aside from that it tells a story of a time not so long ago, and that is mportant to me.

    an importamt film, especially in these times,. discussion of nations and the impact of segregation and further, aparteid torture has on the individual and the world. if you wonder how to show compassion to those who have caused harm, without more violence, this is a must see.

    Great performances, and an important story which is told in a sophisticated and sensitive way without becoming preachy.

    This is moronic. A foolish attempt to glorify something that deserves far better to explain it. Juliette Binoche deserves a Razzie here, and Samuel L. Jackson merely hams it up in yet another horrid film that will, interestingly enough, not hurt his career no matter how hard he tries.

    Brilliant. Here in the wake of Hotel Rwanda,comes "In My Country",another grim chapter of the brutal apartheid regime in South Africa. Directed by John Boorman(Deliverance,The Emerald Forest,Excalibur)
    this magnificient film stars Juliette Binoche
    (Oscar winner-Best Actress for The English Patient), and Samuel L. Jackson(Best Supporting Actor,nominated for Pulp Fiction).
    A riveting story about the violent uprising in South Africa. Not one of the best of Samuel L. Jackson's Greatest Hits,but it is worth seeing.
