Politics are already strained between English imperialists and the West African government of Kinjanja, when womanizing British diplomat Morgan Leafy (Colin Friels) is caught in bed with Celia (Joanne Whalley-Kilmer), wife of corrupt Kinjanjan Presidential candidate Sam Adekunle (Louis Gossett, Jr.). As punishment, Leafy is forced into bribing an official who has voted down a project that stands to make Adekunle very rich. Leafy thinks he's gotten off easy until he learns the lone holdout is none other than Kinjanja's own brick wall of integrity, Dr. Alex Murray (Sir Sean Connery). Meanwhile, Leafy must also contend with his absurdly stuffy boss Fanshawe (John Lithgow), Fanshawe's lusty wife, Chloe (Dame Diana Rigg), and their luscious, too friendly daughter.
Leave your thoughts about A Good Man in Africa.
| Rolling StonePeter TraversBased on William Boyd's 1981 novel, the film has a touch of Evelyn Waugh — though the satire is served dry, it has still got a kick. |
| Los Angeles TimesTerry LawsonAll of it plays a bit phony. Perhaps something was lost in the transition from book to film. The movie was adapted by novelist William Boyd himself, but it feels like it's missing something, maybe a narrative voice that gave all the coincidence and silliness some sense. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffJust an excuse for Sean Connery to play golf. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe problem with the film is that it's frequently more tedious than funny. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleConnery's charm and integrity make all his scenes worthwhile, and Lithgow's stiff-backed turn as the classic British imperialist is in good fun. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonWith its widely acclaimed source material and a cast of distinguished actors, A Good Man in Africa held the possibility of being a welcome departure from the ordinary. Instead, ordinary is what it rises to at its best. |
| Baltimore SunStephen HunterThe imposing Sean Connery lends an undeserved dignity to A Good Man in Africa, an otherwise unpleasant and cringe-worthy cinematic botch of William Boyd's 1981 novel about the misadventures of British diplomats in a newly independent West African nation. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI was not bored during A Good Man in Africa. Just uncomfortable, as the characters thrashed about in search of a purpose. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyIt stakes out Our Man in Havana territory in its ironic tone, but it's not nearly as humorous or as successful in delivering up a satisfying soupcon of caustic wit. Commercial prospects are tepid for what's essentially a shaggy dog story. |
| The Irish TimesMichael DwyerDisappointingly tired, unfunny, and disengaged. |
