I enjoy political thrillers, therefore was looking forward to this. The underlying storyline was good, however, I believe it would have been done to make a little more exciting and suspenseful. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreThis movie confirmed two things for me #1 Sean Penn can not act (no suprise there) and #2 After Moulin Rouge and The Others Nicole Kidman has decided to star in some dull films! Which sucks because shes such a talented actress. This film is very, VERY slow paced and dull, and it just drags on and on and on. By the end of the film I wanted to slam twelve cups of coffee just to stay awake and focused. In my opinion if you want a good political film stick with The Manchurian Candidate!

They took the United Nations and Sean Penn and made a pretty good movie. It was halfway intelligent, too. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreThis is a well designed movie of political caption that keeps you wondering who the assassin is or how things will play out. Some slow parts, but your mind stays in tune while trying to figure out what this relates to in the plot. Most sequences provide input into the next and give historical perspective to the political events taking place. Kidman does a very good job and Penn is questionable.
This movie is not for those that want a movie without thought processing. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

There is not enough action to keep awake. But overall this is a good pick. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreIf Hollywood thinks that the movie going public is going to believe that the UN will try, for crimes against humanity, a sitting president of a sovereign country, they better take a basic Poly Sci class. Did not know that I was going to see a movie about the power struggle for control of an African country....people have been killing each other for hundreds of years there; so what else is new?

The suspense seemed to be forced on the viewer, in other words, the only suspense is to see if your predicted ending was right or not....and yes you will have predicted correctly.
