  After reading the reviews (and not liking most Hollywood fare) I had high hopes for this film but was disappointed. The script had potential but needed more work. The whole 'love interest' thing was empty and cliche. Some scenes and dialogue didn't work. However, I think most of the script problems could have been overcome by better direction. Compare this with The Quiet American, which wasn't a great film either (largely due to the unconvincing Brendan Fraser) , but at least the direction was strong. The other major failing of the directing was not getting better performances from the actors. Most of them are great talents but it really doesn't show here. Dillon is just doing his thing and doesn't fit with the other characters. In fact, all the actors are doing their own thing and not really interacting with each other. The relationships are just not convincing. The best performance is the Cambodian taxi driver. Having said all that, it's still better than a lot of films out there so it's tough to grade it..
(6/10)
