The Constant Gardener
DH & I watched it last night. It was slow at times but I thought the premise was very interesting. Rachel Weisz (sp?) was amazing. I want to read the book.

Re: The Constant Gardener
I'd like to read the book too. We saw it a few weeks ago. I found it hard to watch in a lot of spots though.  Rachel Weisz was great.

Took this from IMDB (They said it better than I could!)
Based on the best-selling John le Carré novel and from the Academy Award-nominated director of "City of God." In a remote area of Northern Kenya, activist Tessa Quayle (Rachel Weisz) is found brutally murdered. Tessa's companion, a doctor, appears to have fled the scene, and the evidence points to a crime of passion. Members of the British High Commission in Nairobi assume that Tessa's widower, their mild-mannered and unambitious colleague Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), will leave the matter to them. They could not be more wrong. Haunted by remorse and jarred by rumors of his late wife's infidelities, Quayle surprises everyone by embarking on a personal odyssey that will take him across three continents. Using his privileged access to diplomatic secrets, he will risk his own life, stopping at nothing to uncover and expose the truth - a conspiracy more far-reaching and deadly than Quayle could ever have imagined.
