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.

Worthwhile story well told...
A really thought provoking documentary style film about the terrorist kidnap of Danny Pearl in Pakistan, seen through the eyes of his wife, friends, colleagues and the local police and media, this documents the events that unfold surrounding the detection, reporting and final outcome of the story. The way this is filmed feels so accurate that you actually become involved in the whole thing and get carried along with it. An important film that does not pull any punches or hide any problems in the hugely populated city of Karachi and Pakistan as a whole with its internal problems and difficulties with neighbouring countries. It really highlights modern political, and terrorist, problems and difficulties in family and friends coming to terms with such awful situations, one of the worst thing you could imagine having to deal with. Worth a watch.
