Beyond Borders
- 15 years ago
"Borders" wants to dramatize the chasm between Sarah and Nick, whose impatient compassion endangers as many refugees as it saves..."
"... After the "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" movies, with their globe-trotting superficiality and numbing imbecility, Ms. Jolie must feel she owes her fans something serious. Unfortunately, she's starring in a movie even more benumbed and superficial, a liberal video game that demeans the very refugees it tries to spotlight. Her good-heartedness is probably the reason she chose to star in this film about a shallow young woman, Sarah Jordan, who's shaken out of her insular existence by the dashing Dr. Nick Callahan (Mr. Owen).
