I watch the CG over the weekend with some folks who missed it in the theater. This was my second viewing and I still think its quite a solid movie. I have a question --- near the end of the film Justin travels to Sudan to meet a (born again?) doctor who works with the natives. It seems that this doctor was exiled - is/was he an employee of the pharma company? Was he sent away because he spoke out against the natives being used as guinea pigs by the drug company? I assumed that he was because Tessa had gone there to interview him.

Just watched it Friday. IIRC, the Dr ran the experimental program in the Nairobi hospital and got a case of consciense when Tessa and her Dr friend wrote the report exposing it. You may remember, he gave Justin the copy of the report that Tess gave him when she visited him.The movie was much better than reviews indicated, but the "edgy" cinematography was a distraction. Directors using shakey cameras should be flogged.
is if a movie will linger in my thoughts, and for how long after I've seen it. Most movies don't linger at all (in fact, I can't wait to erase them from my memory banks), but CG was quite the opposite, so much so that I went out a bought a copy. But then, I think Rachel Weitz is hot, and a terrific actress to boot.
We just watched it a month or so ago, but I already have forgotten some of the details. Yes, Tessa did interview him in her investigation. As I remember, the doc explained to Justin that he participated in a trial of the drug and some of his patients died. His documentation of those deaths is what was covered up.Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
i thought that was the guy who actually created the drug. I thought he was living in exile helping the locals as a means of redemption
Scott - I think you are correct.I believe the guy who was involved in the disposal (?) of the dead test victims was a different actor. He was the fellow that drove Justin to the grave site. That site looked like a bunch of broken cinderblocks.
