Love. At any cost.
In a remote area of Northern Kenya, activist Tessa Quayle (Rachel Weisz) is found brutally murdered. Tessa's companion, a doctor, appears to have fled the scene, and the evidence points to a crime of passion. Members of the British High Commission in Nairobi assume that Tessa's widower, their mild-mannered and unambitious colleague Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), will leave the matter to them. They could not be more wrong....
Haunted by remorse and jarred by rumors of his late wife's infidelities, Quayle surprises everyone by embarking on a personal odyssey that will take him across three continents. Using his privileged access to diplomatic secrets, he will risk his own life, stopping at nothing to uncover and expose the truth; a conspiracy more far-reaching and deadly than Quayle could ever have imagined.
Based on the novel by John Le Carre, The Constant Gardener was nominated for 3 Oscars and Rachel Weisz duly collected statuette hers for a superb supporting turn as Tessa Quayle.

I was wary about whether I would enjoy this film but trusted the reviews previously written on this website. The film is action packed, is fantastically acted, has a great script and both me and my partner really enjoyed it.

Not really what I would watch but this was actually very, very good.
But not quite perfect.
Normally I didn't really know much about the poorness and tragedy that was and still is going on around Africa.
But it has changed my thoughts about it and I saw differently of it.
If your thinking of donating to Africa and not sure about, this will make you want to donate.
This is such a moving, dramatic film, they acted so well even though they weren't actually in Africa, but they did act well to it.
I think the only fault is they keep moving from place to place and it get's confusing where they are.
But there are other little hiccups but you will see them and might not notice them.
BUT YOU WILL BUY THIS DVD AS IT IS AMAZING!
A sleeping gem.

Brilliant performances and plot from John Le Carre`s novel,brought to the big screen with style and dynanism.
This film leaves you think long after the credits,which is always the sign of something a bit special.
Enjoy!
