Romantic adventure, marital crisis, and the tragedy of global hunger are combined with mixed but respectable results in Beyond Borders, starring Angelina Jolie in a role that reflects her off-screen efforts as a United Nations goodwill ambassador. Jolie plays a naive American socialite, unhappily married and living in London, whose life is revolutionized when a passionate doctor (Clive Owen, replacing original costar Kevin Costner) draws her into the cause of humanitarian aid in the world's most dangerous political hot-spots including Ethiopia, Cambodia (where Jolie adopted her first child), and Chechnya in the 1980s and '90s. Directed by Martin (Goldeneye) Campbell, who replaced Oliver Stone during troubled pre-production, this well-meaning film suffers from schizophrenic priorities: Is it a globetrotting love story? An impassioned political exposé? Powerful scenes and fine performances can't entirely offset the film's identity crisis, and the ending strives for a quality of martyrdom that it doesn't really earn. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - another way of love story
No measure of how the humen being when fall 4 a reason to live by & be belonged to other.
Rating: - Great Movie!
This movie never got that much attention. It stars Angelina Jolie and Clive Owen before he got famous!
The story is absolutely moving and real, these things happen people, every day, all over the globe.
One of the few movies that I own and I own way too many, that I have watched over and over!
Great film, amazing acting!
Rating:  - Solid Effort; Years of Living Dangerously
I hate bleeding-heart melodramas set in third-world countries starring Hollywood beauty-queens, BUT this one has a lot going for it. Amazingly, the dialog is good and the set-up works. The doctor has all the same objections to the do-gooders that any cynic might have, so one feels relieved of the duty of finding fault with the rich, guilt-ridden Jolie character who heads off to Africa with a truck-load of goodies. It is a brutal bit of realistic footage - those starving babies aren't actors! The ... Read More
Rating:  - TRASH & GARBAGE!!!!!!!
Too much cursing, profanity, adultery, and fornication! Need I say more... Angelina Jolie is a married woman who goes off to another country and has a secret love affair while her husband and child think she's off on some humanitarian trip. I hesitated when I saw her on the cover because she tends to flaunt her adulterous and bi-sexaul behavior. I got it because I like Clive Owen and I like movies filmed in Africa. It's not a family movie because they swear and curse a lot and has too much killing. ... Read More

A story that has particular relevence to real people in the real world makes it's leading man such a fake action hero and expects his attitude to not detract from the realism of the situations and even expects you to like him. Whatever romance is supposed to be seen in the mutual martyrdom of the couple is hard to find given the two do not appear to have made each other happy even for a second of the film's duration and even when the dude makes his declaration of love speech he expresses no warmth. ...
