Cast: Richard Gere, Terence Howard, James Brolin amongst others. 

Plot: A television journalist (Gere), his cameraman (Terence Howard) and their networks V.P.’s son embark on a journey to catch a war criminal from Bosnia-Serbia war. 
Review: I really enjoyed seeing Richard Gere onscreen with a compelling storyline than Dance with Me….Terence Howard showed why he is already an Academy Award winner. The plot is interesting, the narration by Howard keeps the movie on track and interesting, at all times, with edge of the seat sequences. 
Recommendation: Worth a Watch (3.5 of 5).
