A British diplomat investigates the death of his wife in Kenya.

Sinekatalog’s take

Fernando Meirelles's thriller blends a love story with a corporate conspiracy in Kenya. Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz are moving, and the shaky, vivid camerawork gives it urgency.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
