"Constant Gardener" had the usual post MTV fast editing and effected grainy photography that obscured good performances for stimuli. Although the acting was excellent I felt like I saw a movie that never really happened. It was kind of a disappointment for me gang.I went home and watched "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf" to see timing , chemistry and ensemble performance which was something I sorely missed in "Gardener".
