This film sets a deliberate pace. I never found it boring. Those who think that it was terrible need to stick to films with car chases and explosions. This is basically an art film. Debra Winger turned in a fantastic performance, as did John Malkovich, in spite of his trademark smarminess. The photography of North Africa is stunning, and the emptiness of the desert obviously mirrors the relationship between Kit and Port. I will say, though, that I really didn't get the ending.
