This movie is so realistic you feel you are part of the tremendous humanity wandering around the streets, the beggars, the overflowing busses...one can feel the pain in Marianne"s heart in the uncertainty of her husband's life, half believing he will eventually be saved and the other half trying to accept the truth that he may not return...we all had felt the same sorrow...Angelina's show of control of her feelings in the midst of chaos and the eventual flood of horror and helplessness was so heart wrenching...so hard to watch...no one can ever forget the scene of her total abandon of hope and a broken heart..

I left this film not being able to speak really . It was powerful and honest and superbly done. It's an in your face reminder of how crazy and divided our world is and how seemingly worse it's getting to be. M Pearl is a woman of great strength and A Jolie did a wonderful job portraying her.

This movie is great! Angelina does a great job and the supporting cast is also good. Definitely an emotional piece. You don't want to miss this one!

First of all, I want to say that I genuinely liked this film. And I have the utmost respect, sympathy, and admiration for the real Mariane Pearl who is a paragon of strength and stoicism. Nevertheless, I was somewhat disappointed with this adaptation due to the disjointed nature of the narrative which effectively reflects the hustle and bustle of Karachi street scenes teeming with cars, pedestrians, beggars, street vendors, etc. But its fragmented story line and footage is often hard to follow--particularly in the beginning--leaving the viewer a bit confused at times especially if he or she is not familiar with the intricate details of Pearl's harrowing experience. I also wanted to know a little more about Daniel as a person, i.e., his social concerns, political views, and work as a journalist. And I would have appreciated more in-depth information about the chronology and sequence of events that led to his ultimate capture and fateful demise.

The movie is a docudrama, but the educational benefits of the situation abroad are so important. The relationships between the local people and the foreigners are more cooperative than I would have imagined, based on our media's reporting. These people who risked their lives and/or careers to help Marianne and Danny Pearl are not who we hear about in the U.S. The tragic story is beautifully crafted. The acting, writing and directing of this movie is all done with care, integrity and passion thus, conveying a tender story and, at the same time intensely gripping.
