I expected something different, because the box said "a romantic adventure film", but this was not really it 
, this was really drama.
The movie wasn't bad, but it wasn't really wow either. He laps a little further without getting really exciting. Fortunately, the second hour the film gets a bit better and makes up for the ending.
The images are very realistic (thin children, poverty, ...) and the cast also does a very good job.
Not really a relaxing film, but a fairly heavy drama.

I thought the movie was okay, but not a high-flyer. I was annoyed by Angelina Jolie in some way, I didn't find her very credible. In addition, I really missed some depth and I thought it went too fast. First she was still in Cambodia, then she was suddenly in London again with a child. I thought those jumps in time were so weird. Yes, of course it remains a film and everything is possible in it, but I did not enjoy watching this. Each event passed quickly.
Maybe I'm a bit spoiled by The Constant Gardener. That is of course a slightly different story but really 100x better. Beyond Borders is nowhere near that.

It is very American to immerse a kind of "Doctors without Borders" story in a romantic drama. Nevertheless, it is an interesting and confrontational film about the atrocities in war zones. It seems to me that Angelina Jolie must have felt like a fish in water, given her involvement as UNHCR ambassador on this issue.
Without the romantic sauce, I think the film would have a much greater impact.
