A Mighty Heart comes at the murder of journalist Daniel Pearl with a de-glamorized intensity: it's not a melodrama about Pearl's kidnapping and killing at the hands of Islamic terrorists, but a near-documentary about the process of trying to find him. Thus the center of the film is not Pearl (Dan Futterman) but his wife Mariane (Angelina Jolie), a cool customer who manages--almost--to maintain her calm throughout the weeks-long ordeal. Director Michael Winterbottom is less overtly political here than in his Road to Guantanamo, although the reactions of various authorities, from U.S. officials to local Pakistani cops, give the flavor of different attitudes and approaches. Jolie, playing the Dutch-Afro-Cuban Mariane Pearl, does nicely at playing her character's control (others marvel at her sangfroid), yet she remains recognizably human throughout. By no means a star turn, the movie leaves Mariane for long stretches, and other actors shine: Irfan Khan as a detective, Denis O'Hare as Daniel Pearl's Washington Post editor, and Will Patton as a stymied diplomat. As engrossing as the movie generally is, the point of emphasizing the police-procedural method is sometimes obscure. Oddly enough, by rejecting the usual string-pulling of conventional Hollywood drama, A Mighty Heart ends up without a strong point of view--as good as its pieces are. --Robert Horton

 A mighty heart August 17, 2008
This movie was kinda long and drawn out(boring). Sorry I purchased it, might resell it. The only part of that movie that keeps poping up in my mind is when Daniel pearl was ask about 911. "Why so many jews didn't show up for work that day when the twin towers were hit". Why would the writer of this movie write a line such as this and put it in a movie? Is the writer truly trying to tell us something about the jews and 911?. Can jewish people be trusted? are they the true evils of this world, and the reason for the wars we face today?

*** 2007. Based on Mariane Pearl's A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband, Danny Pearl and directed by Michael Winterbottom. Angelina Jolie earned a Golden Globe nomination for her performance. Daniel Pearl, a journalist working for the Wall Street Journal, is kidnapped in Karachi, Pakistan. The film relates the events taking place until Daniel Pearl's tragic death. Apart of the always necessary task to relate the death of a journalist, I don't see what Michael Winterbottom had to say with this film. In terms of cinema, A MIGHTY HEART will not leave a durable trace in history. Already forgotten.
