directed by Fernando Meirelles, director of City of God
grew up not far from where I grew up
absolutely brilliant
this movie combines the humanizing strife of empoverished Africans with an edgy mystery thriller about corporate deceit. Highly recomended.
Talk amongst yourselves.

Its Based off a book by John Le Carre. Worth checking out some of his other works (his works do partially glorify spies though)

I liked it...even though they've made it less political...I know it's a cliché but the book is much better...

pretty good, i just saw it a couple of nights ago. while i am not particularly interested in the africa sitution (its palestine, iraq and iran for me) it touched me, i found the end extremely moving, "as their lives are born so cheeply..."
