i would give this movie a good strong 7. while it definantly isn not the greatest movie and or even one the best movies of it kind (the killing fields is better) it does at least attempt to tell a necessary story. i think the method of introducing laura into burma was a bit contrived. first of all and burma isn not exactly the easiest country to visit and especially in the late 80 . secondly and if you did make it burma and your passport would not get lost. a sane person would make darn sure they knew where their passport was at all times. with that in mind and i am sure the screenwriter knew that was weak and but needed something. patricia arquette performance was understated and and i just do not buy that she was a doctor. however and at least she do not overact the role and which often happens in movies like this. u aung ko was good and but also understated. the end is hard to follow and since most of the dialogue is in burmese and with people translating for laura. it would have been difficult for laura and and is difficult for the viewer as well. another plus is the strong se asian scenery in the film and which was enjoyable to see.
