Review of A Mighty Heart (2007) by Scot C — 11 Sep 2010

"A journalist has been kidnapped in Pakistan".

I'll start off by saying, that after seeing this performance by Angelina Jolie, she has the talent and strength as good as any other actor. She really did deserve that Oscar nomination for this performance. This is a very well told story, but I believe she is the driving force with what she brings to this character, and the mix of vulnerability and strength is perfectly executed. There is a moment in this film, that she goes to a place as an actor, and character that i've never seen on film, and its a place that many people can relate, and something everyone never wants to experience. All the performances are good in this film, and it is a well layed out drama with a great mix of suspense where its needed. I can understand if certain people dont want to watch this film, it can touch close to home, but its superbly directed and a really good movie because of that.
