The Constant Gardener
) 
This was a truly disappointing film yet it is an enigma.
Photography is superb and so is the acting yet after spending 23 years in Africa I soon saw they did not understand it or even scratch the surface.
This may be due to the book which I have not read yet was a total fan of McCarry's early books.
The very weakness and naivety of the main character is a huge problem and the ending somewhat ridiculous - how on earth could such a person hold down a diplomatic job in Africa as portrayed in the film?
The story is more than plausible and the wife quite typical of some of the "African wives" in my own experience yet the film squandered and lost so much that I can only give it a dubious 3 - mainly for photography.
