    tense, devastating and emotional. AJ gives a performance that perfectly captures the anger, hope, and despair of Mariane Pearl. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time; a thriller and a love story all at once. Very moving. Loved the end song and the simple piano piece over the flashbacks.

    If anyone of you who see any dissatisfaction with the film are looking only on one aspect of the film which is the popularity of the Miss Jolie, in the back of anyones mind, can you honestly say that you or anyone else can do a much better job of playing the role of Miss Pearl? Yes Pearl was played by a Caucasian as well as the most popular actress, but you have to admit that with make-up, wig and accent, she did disappear from being Jolie to being Marianne Pearl, not only by looks but by playing the main character of the story. If no one can see this, then non of you have the right to be critics because you judge by the celebrity status of the actress and not by how intense she can play the part. jg...… Expand

    One of a kind. One of the most important films this year and every American should see it. Jolie at her very best. Give her the Oscar now.

    Very touching movie that makes you reflect on the values of life, courage, vengeance. Angelina Jolie is AMAZING! Stay for the generic for the song by Nouvelle Vague!

    Like many of Winterbottom's movies, it falls a step short of its full potential. Its tact is both its strength and its weakness. The climax feels rushed: it's the rare movie these days that feels too short.

    The film belongs to Jolie. She won an Oscar for 1999's "Girl, Interrupted," but this is by far her best performance.
