Paramount Pictures

Angelina Jolie

This is the sad and true real life story of American journalist Daniel Pearl. His kidnapping and demise is a powerful example that terrorism is alive and well all over the world today. This film is set in Pakistan.

Jolie plays the loving wife of Daniel Pearl, Marianne. Trying to find out what happened to her husband, and why he is missing she sets out on a meaningful quest. Her quest will open up to her a world deep inside political and personal agendas of many people high up in Government and security and what can happened when people ask too many questions. Added to her situation, she is pregnant with her their child.

This is a powerful film but at the same time it sends a message out there somewhat negative about the Pakistan government and officials and their lack of motivation to help the Pearl family in any way. Jolie’s performance is rather remarkable and it’s good to see her actually acting for a change instead of her personal life being spread out across the tabloids.
