Continuing my plan to watch every Sean Connery movie in order, I come to A Good Man In Africa (1994)
Plot In A Paragraph: In a fictional African town, 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 (Connery).
Despite a great cast, this is awful. Even the great John Lithgow (whom I love) is poor her, and Connery who has saved some awful movies, has his work cut out here.
A Good Man In Africa flopped at the box office, grossing only $2 million
