Why is it that every movie about a corrupt African dictator has to have a made up African country? Anyway, this particular film is a bit of a snoozefest. Sean Penn is a secret service agent in charge of keeping Nicole Kidman safe from the opposite of Wakanda -- however, is the opposite of Wakanda safe from Nicole Kidman...? This movie was shot juuust before the iPhone came out, so if you are looking for a time capsule of New York City around that time then I guess this fits the bill. At one point, Kidman glances longingly at a flute, and I had the thought that it would be awesome if there was a melodramatic flute interlude... and then there *was* one! Another brief taste of passability comes when Penn and his agents set up shop in an apartment directly across from Kidman's -- what was she doing with the curtains open in the first place? The best use for a copy of this film is to give it as a Secret Santa gift to some loser who wants to work for the UN, because God knows they can use all the help they can get...
