HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE A MIGHTY HEART FROM DVDTALK

The Movie:

• Perhaps the most surprising thing about A Mighty Heart -- aside from its effective reminder that Angelina Jolie is much more than just sexy tabloid fodder -- is how utterly unsentimental it is. In telling the horrific real-life story of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter kidnapped and murdered in 2002 by Al Qaeda terrorists in Pakistan, the filmmakers wisely eschew the temptation to preach or crank up the melodrama. As a result, they have fashioned a work of considerable pathos and power.

  In that respect, A Mighty Heart is a fitting companion piece to Paul Greengrass' spellbinding United 93. Not only do both films tackle the rawness of 9/11 and its legacy, but tng. As a result, audiences sense the urhey do it with almost clinical precision. Like Greengrass, A Mighty Heart director Michael Winterbottom employs a documentarian approach augmented by uneven handheld camerawork and naturalistic lightigency of the events that unfolds onscreen.

  Our perspective is through the eyes of Daniel Pearl's wife, Mariane. The couple live in Karachi, Pakistan, where Danny, as the WSJ's South Asia bureau chief, is covering the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. He has one day left in the city, and he has scrambled to set up a final interview with an elusive Islamic leader. Mariane, five-months pregnant with their first child, goes about her daily routine. Danny has told her he expects to be home a little late, but Mariane grows alarmed when he doesn't make it back in time for a dinner party.

  Hours tick by, and Mariane comes to the frightening realization that her husband has been kidnapped. She must suddenly adapt to a new reality as her home is converged upon by Pakistani and American investigators who go through the difficult, but critical, process of collaboration.

  The bulk of A Mighty Heart is a police procedural -- and a damn fine one, at that. Winterbottom and screenwriter John Orloff stitch together a dizzying tapestry of potential suspects and suspected connections, false leads and dead ends. Rumors abound, with the facts of Danny Pearl's kidnapping obscured by a wealth of geopolitical considerations. Winterbottom ratchets up the tension by vividly capturing the daily grind of activity in Karachi -- the traffic jams, the bustle on the streets, the cacophony of sounds -- heightening our dread that there is no way that police will be able to find the kidnappers in time to save their hostage.
