A FRESH ROLE FOR JOLIE

Aside from the discrepancy that ANGELINA JOLIE is white, and the real MARIANE PEARL is bi-racial, the whole movie performed quite well. Movies of this genre (War/Drama) with a documentary element are quite difficult to put together. Professional critics gave it an average 74% review mark, although one colleague close to DANIEL PEARL expressed utter dismay. By and large, I believe that the movie was successful (definitely not so much financially) in trying to maintain the intricacies of cultures, people-group mentalities and other factions operating within the overall problem, that help shed light to complexities of international terrorism crises such as this.
