Mighty mediocre
2.5/4 stars

A strongly-acted, but rather uninformative biopic about the tragic events surrounding Daniel Pearl; not much light is painted on why his capture was so much more important than the countless others, and the semi-documentary approach feels obtuse. Not to insult the integrity of the content, but it feels more like a tv movie of the week despite the efforts of Angelina Jolie. Final Grade: C+
