(Quicktime Version)
Richard Gere is still one charming dude. And seeing him playing a charming and funny character stuck (willingly in this case) in a hard situation seems like a good way to spend a couple of hours. And the setting, a war torn Bosnia, does offer plenty of opportunity to tell interesting and even important and meaningful stories.
The later part of the trailer does seem too much like a typical thriller for my tastes. Not that typical thrillers can’t be good, but many times when the filmmakers go for typical they hit mediocre. So, I’m not completely sold. But it sure has potential.
