Product DescriptionThe Constant Gardener is the kind of thriller that hasn't been seen since the 1970s: Smart, politically complex, cinematically adventurous, genuinely thrilling and even heartbreaking. Mild diplomat Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes, The English Patient, Schindler's List) has a loose cannon of a wife named Tessa (Rachel Weisz, The Shape of Things, The Mummy), who's digging into the dirty doings of a major pharmaceutical company in Kenya. Her brutal murder forces Justin to continue her investigation down some deadly avenues. This simple plot description doesn't capture the rich texture and slippery, sinuous movement of The Constant Gardener, superbly directed by Fernando Meirelles (Oscar-nominated for his first film, City of God). Shifting back and forth in time, the movie skillfully captures the engaging romance between Justin and Tessa (Fiennes shows considerably more chemistry with Weisz than he had with Jennifer Lopez in Maid in Manhattan) and builds a vivid, gripping, and all-too-justified paranoia. And on top of it all, the movie is beautiful, due to both its incredible shots of the African landscape (which at times is haunting and unearthly) and the gorgeous cinematography. Featuring an all-around excellent cast, including Bill Nighy (Love Actually), Pete Postlethwaite (In the Name of the Father), and Danny Huston (Silver City).--Bret Fetzer Image GalleryClick on a thumbnail on the left to view a larger image on the right.

Product ReviewsCustomers have given The Constant Gardener [2005] an average customer review rating of 4.0 out of 5. The latest reviews have been displayed below. Very Average There was nothing particuarly within this film to make it stand out. Watchable but very average. Constant drivel I bought this film from Amazon for the acolades it had received and the generally good rating Amazon reviewers gave it. Trust me though, I would have given this film no stars if I could. The acting was terrible, the plot unbelievable and generally left me with a feeling of outrage that all that money that was wasted making this rubbish had not donated to me to pay off my mortgage (and all my friends and family no doubt). Seriously though, I watched this film with three friends and we ALL fell asleep before halfway. Unbelievable. Unbelievably bad. utterly sadening very sad movie, makes u consider the storyline instead of just following it which is the problem with many films today, btw ralph fiennes is in many good films eg schindler's list Powerful film with a very realistic portrayal! This is a great movie with a sobering message. The showing in this movie of how Big Pharma uses poor African countries to test run their drugs before potentially releasing them into the West is all to true. The headline in the news today was "Nigeria Takes On Pfizer over 'Killer Drug'" and is just one such example of how close to the truth the film is. See this movie and be aware that the events portrayed are actually happening. To understand what kind of people would deliberately do such things, read the book "Political Ponerology" by Andrew Lobaczewski and the book by Robert Hare called "Without conscience". It explains a lot that is worth knowing. Disappointing Didn't enjoy this at all. There was no spark between Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz and without that no basis to understand the relationship.
