You know, I’ve heard so many good things about The Constant Gardener but never got ’round to catching it in theaters. A shame, cause Ralph Fiennes is among my favourite actors ever. 🙁
Oh, yes. You definately need to see it. The whole movie is just so damn solid … from script to directing to acting.
