A Mighty Heart Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Didn't watch

I couldn't rate this as I turned it off when I realised what the content was. I don't watch films about the atrocities of war. I only got it cos Angelina was in it. Don't let me put you off though. Just not for me.

And the DIck Van Dyke Comedy Accent Award goes to.....

This is a decent movie however, if you don't know the story already (it a true story) DO NOT select the option to watch the intro with some random woman first! She literally reveals the outcome with her first sentence.

Onto the film..... Basically, it is pretty solid with some good performances. Sadly, in my opinion, you can't count Angelina Jolie amongst them which isn't great as she's the main character! Specifically, it is her hideous stab at a French accent with an American tinge (I'm reliably informed that's what it is anyway...) that really grates. Especially in the early scenes she sounds Spanish, South American and Portuguese before she seems to settle on a poor French accent with the odd completely American sentence thrown in. Not quite as bad as Don Cheadle in Oceans 11, but not far off....

If you don't reckon that'll annoy you, it's worth a look.
