Of course, I admire the main theme of the film's concern for Africa and the exposure of human nature. I can't deny it. The main content that the film wants to express is good. But, I don't really agree with the way the movie is made. The label says it's both a romance and a suspense movie. The movie gives people the feeling that they want to take care of both too much, but they seem to have no priority. The love part is blunt because of space limitations, and the suspenseful part is procrastinated because of unnecessary interruptions. Two hours is too limited, it is not wise to condense all the essence, there should be a better way to express it.
