The Constant Gardener. Warning, SPOILER AHEAD
This film is really boring. Don't watch it.
Basically, the film revolves around Justin Quayle (Fiennes), a diplomat whose wife, Tessa (Weisz), is found murdered. He tries to investigate the death, believing that there's some sort of conspiracy. There are some boring flashbacks, the most eye-catching of which is the one of Rachel Weisz in the bath. Side characters include Tessa's gay doctor friend Bluhm, and Quayle's bosses, Sandy (mission chief), and Sir Bernard (foreign secretary, probably)
SPOLIER SPOILER SPOILER: Now, there really is a conspiracy, and having found out why Tessa was slaughtered (she was investigating a pharmaceutical company scamming African people), he gets killed as well.
Boring, boring, boring is all I can say. Incredibly slow-moving. Plenty of Brit stars: Fiennes, Weisz, Bill Nighy (Sir Bernard), but they don't really help. It's still boring...
