The Constant Gardener

Ah, hand-held camera shots. "Hey, seriously, don't bring the tri-pod, we won't be using that here." I think that's how the conversation went when Fernando Meirelles addresed the production crew.

If you keep on wishing that there was a politically charged movie about the evils of the pharmecutical biz, shot with the pizzaz of the Blair Witch Project, you re in luck my friend. TCG, continues where Lord of War left off in the "white people in Africa" series.

Ralph Fines plays his usual role as a pussy, I mean, diplomat. He has a press conference and gets shredded to peices by a reporter. Impressed by her ability to make him look like a deuche, he marries her and takes her to Kenya.

This movie is another example of the crazed madmen running American movies. Rachel Weisz won the supporting actress Oscar.

Both watching and reviewing this film makes me dizzy and wan to go to bed. Rating: 1/1,000,000 - the 1 is for the only shot that used a tri-pod.
