If some guy came up to you in a bar and started rubbing himself against you and thrusting, would you go back to his place for sex? And then continue to see him after finding out he was married? I don't know what the real story around how she started with her current husband, but I thought it made her character look sleazy as hell from the start.

You did just fine, Clarence. Now go git yo'self some hot cornbread!
I thought that part was cut to the chase but the point is she isn't perfect and when you're stuck in effing Bosnia with a charming guy who you happen to connect with, then what the hell. Get all the love you need.
shareCharming? The guy was a wooden actor playing a wooden character. And he didn't charm her. He hadn't even talked to her. He just came up behind her and starting rubbing himself against her. I just thought that scene (and plot) was very poorly done and made her character look really stupid and skeevy.

So, Coleburg83 that's what you took from this movie?
Rachel Weiz was the one person who fought herocially, and passionately to help the victims of the slavers, but all you took from the movie is that Rachel Weiz was a bad and sleazy woman because she indulged in some casual sex?
LOL!!!! It's nice to know that you weren't that bothered by the actions of the men who were enslaving all the women, and forcing them into a life of perpetual sex slavery.
Oh well, we all have our standards, I guess. An adult woman engaging in a one-night stand that she has consented to, bothers you. But the forced abduction of young women, and forcing them into a life of sexual slavery, doesn't bother you that much.
You realize that Rachel Weiz's character was based on a real life woman right? And this movie was based on her story. That being the case, it's quite possible the bar-hook up, and casual sex, might have really happened. Yet despite what this woman did, and tried to do, you would think ill of her because she engaged in some casual sex.
when you're stuck in effing Bosnia with a charming guy
I find it amusing that your strongest argument is that Bosnia is less of a
sh!thole than Iraq...LOL

>>> I don't know what the real story around how she started with her current husband
And what if the real story is exactly how it was depicted in the movie?
Wouldn't that make HIM the sleazy one!?
What a twisted view of women!

...that they only had drunk sex the one time.
Unless I missed something, this was the sequence, wasn't it?
- They both go to the bar, get drunk, flirt & have a one-night stand.
- She leaves the dude's house the next morning, never asking his name, number or telling him to call her, etc. Probably never intending to see the guy again.
- They run into each other at the market & go to dinner.
- Lots of time passes by, LOADS of **** happens.
- We find out the dude's married & has kids. (Can't remember if that's before or after the scene where she's venting about her job)
Either way, the relationship seems pretty platonic after that. Sure, they hang out, but you don't see 'em making out or jumping in bed together. Kathryn did look disappointed when he said he was going back home for his kids, but that seemed like she was sad to be losing one of the only friends/people she could trust that she had.
I'm not picky about sex & labeling myself, but of the two, the moment where either of them seemed "sleazy" was when the dude was sittin there all "Well it's not technically official, blah blah blah." Wasn't even the sex or the adultery or whatever, it was the guy trying to downplay his (still) family that made him seem look like the sleazy one to me.
The end of the film stated Kathy lives in the Netherlands with Jan, and his statement that he didn't want to never see again indicates they were dating, not just friends.
shareThat's what people do at bar after drinking. Clearly you have issues.
