A Brilliant yet disturbing film about how the world leaves africa behind.
Ralph Phines charecter plays a man who is a mild mannered diplomat who dosen't realy stand up for what he belives in working passivly in his kenya home. His firy wife tess go's around working on a project he dosen't know about untill she is murdered. Now as he emtionialy pivots till the extreme fury of his wife, determined to find out who killed her, and more imporantly how he can he finnish what she started. The mystery leads to drug companys, aid orgaizatoins, pepole he knew and trusted, and the briitsh goverment itself. I think this excalent provoctive film is a stroy of a man redeeming him self, in the face of global connsiracy that has no method of redeption. The movies if very well made, the landscapes of africa are huanting, and ralph finnes performance is oscar worthy. This brillant disturbing film might not be for kids under the age of thirteen or fourteen becuse it contains sexulaty if only brifly, and disturbing violence, as well as thogh provking matterial. I think is a great film on truly many levels from a very talanted main actor, and director.

Must See for Adults
The Constant Gardener is , without doubt, one of the best and most important movies of recent times. That being said, it is in NO way a movie for kids, tweens, or teens. The film follows the story of a couple, Tessa and Justin, who live in Kenya where Justin is a complacent gardening diplomat working for the British government. Tessa is a fiery whip-smart investigator who catches on to a sinister plot between the British drug companies and local authorities which Justin does not believe exists. For her curiosity, she pays the ultimate price, and Justin begins to realize the truth behind his wife's murder, and vows to discover ad expose the forces behind it. What follows is a brutally violent, emotionally wrenching, beautifully filmed, and deeply affecting account of Justin's quest. This film deserves a thoughtful, mature, and strong-stomached audience. Adults only.
