The Promise wastes an outstanding cast and powerful real-life story on a love triangle that frustratingly fails to engage.

Terry George ... proved with Hotel Rwanda that he can tackle the wrenching subject of genocide with thrilling cinematic results. A wonderful cast adds no-fail polish. September 5, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's a handsome film and George manages to keep the genocide in focus with shots of the Turks herding long lines of refugees across the desert expanses. But the full horror is kept at one remove. June 14, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
