The Constant gardener is about a diplomat in the hunt for his wife's murderer, who uncovers a treacherous conspiracy which has the potential to kill millions of innocent people, until he can uncover its sinister roots.
This film is beautifully done; from the convincing relationship between the diplomat and his wife, to the wife's activist view on helping people in Africa. This film is slow paced, yet it is an on the edge of your seat thriller. It is brilliantly shot, and flicks from scenes to show the past and present aspects of the relationships as a tool to help Justin (Ralph Finnes) uncover the truth about his wife's murderer. Finnes and Weisz are impeccable in this film! They couldn't have played it more perfectly.
It is a truly enjoyable thought-provoking film, which will leave you thinking about it long after you've left the cinema.

The Constant Gardener is a film about the corruption of Western pharmaceutical companies in Aids oppressed Africa, which does not sound very promising, but I'd urge readers to think again. 'The Constant Gardener' is a topical, subtle thriller and a convincing love story.

The Constant Gardener was a, how shall I put it? - interesting film. It's a good film to watch if you want to feel sad after you leave the cinema. The problem with it is that it is not based on a true story, so you kind of feel that you are angry at the drugs companies for something they didn't do. Not a great film, but very well made.

I watched The Constant Gardener last night which is a political thriller - political maybe, but thriller is stretching it.
This film centre's around the romance between Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes) and his wife Tessa (Rachel Weisz), the latter being the victim of a barbaric murder in Kenya. It is then up to Quayle, a British diplomat in Kenya, to undercover the real reason why his wife was murdered following a cover-up story from the Kenyan authorities.
We get to learn a lot about thanks ...
