The review of this Movie prepared by Laura B




Career British diplomat Justin Quayle (Fiennes) is employed at the midlevel in the Kenyan embassy. His wife Tessa (Weisz), a crusading journalist on behalf of human rights, turns up dead in a wreck up country. She had been traveling with black doctor Arnold Bluhm (Hubert Kounde), who is missing. Were they having an affair? Justin risks ruining his career by investigating his wife's death -- a murder, it turns out, with connections to huge and illegal pharmaceutical interests that are testing new drugs on unwary African citizens -- on his own. This 2005 thriller directed by Brazilian Fernando Meirelles is based on the bestselling novel by John Le Carre.
