A Mighty Heart


This is the movie that tells the story of Marianne and Daniel Pearl, the american journalist that was kidnapped in Pakistan.
We follow Marianne, Daniel, american agents and Pakistan police agents who try to find the kidnappers. Throughout the movie we are shown flashbacks of Marianne and Daniel life outside Pakistan, how they met and their overall life story. We are shown flashbacks of Daniel's meetings with his collaborators during the actual investigation so we know what really happened and if the police officers are the right path.
There are a lot of things that we don't know so we are on the same page as the police officers since we don't know who did what and how it all happened.
The scenes are actionned packed and everything is going so fast hence we are "involved" in the movie and it keeps you on your toes.
Angelina Jolie is good in the role of Marianne Pearl. Most of the actors offer good and believable performances.
The movie gives some insights of Pakistan fights against violent groups and its relationships with country around and the US.
I went to see the movie yesterday night. I really enjoyed it!
Go see it if you like movie that matters.
It's not a cheap way to cash out on a true story.
