I’m glad this movie does not depict in details the kidnapping and brutal murder of Daniel Pearl, instead it focuses on the suspense of the investigation and the humanity’s response to uncertainty.
Angelina Jolie does well as the wife of the murdered journalist.
I am kinda disappointed in how Hollywood portrays pregnant ladies lately, it doesn’t look convincing,.. in the movie ‘Knocked up’ and this one.. it seems like the mothers have skinny bodies and skinny arms but big ass belly.
We all know that pregnant wife would eat a lot and look bigger.
but anyway, back to the film.. ‘A Mighty Heart’ reminds you of how well the movie ‘Hotel Rwanda’ tells of the gruesome killings without having to show graphic images… the key is in the writing.
In the end, it’s Oscar worthy, I suppose, but it’s not emotionally powerful enough.
