I just watched this movie last night and I just have to say WOW.
'Beyond Borders' is such a good movie, the writing is excellent... the story really pulls at your heartstrings.The actors do an amazing job bringing this story to life.
The war violence and the danger were believable and well-done...
I was captivated from the very first frame of the movie... it just draws you in and won't let go.
Some people may not like the ending but I was glad they did it in a realistic way, 'cause this stuff does happen sometimes.
Clive Owen played the stubborn/charismatic/compassionate character wonderfully, I don't anyone could've done a better job.... and Angelina is a wonderful actress, she pours a lot of passion into her character into the movie as well. Its nice when actors just disappear into a role :)
I cannot recommend this movie any higher... It takes its time telling the story, which suits it nicely, but don't turn it off right away, if this movie had been fast-paced, it would've ruined the experience *if that makes sense ;-)*
It's a pity this movie wasn't more well-received at the box office.
