...the prior stellar review, I beg to differ as to that which said viewer opined. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, the performances, the IMPLIED menage a trois as well to the elemental message of the film. To some, sex, of any sort, is IMMORAL - especially when the lights are on. Fine. But to the majority of the world, sex is not something that is subject to another's approval and has a direct correlation to who and what we are as we define ourselves by those we call friend and lover. And that, that friendship and love, become more than sex and ultimately, after conflicting directly with principal and ideals, is the most important thing in life and the message at the heart of this piece. She (the Charlize character) represents just that in what she takes from her two great loves and applies it to her own life and deeds amidst in a world awash in the chaos of war. She is a better person because of what she has taken from those she has loved.
Hey, the bottom line is this - if you have a sense of Hemmingwayesque history and an eye for beauty, then sit back and enjoy the movie. If you have 'hangups' like some others, there are plenty of Mel Gibson and John Wayne films to partake of between rounds of Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas.
Oh, and she has a WONDERFUL body.
