Rosamund Pike plays celebrated war correspondent Marie Colvin, who was dauntless in covering some of the most notorious conflicts in recent history.

This film spends more time with her on assignment than it does revealing much about her personal life and what drives her. As such, this is a war movie that re-creates some dispiritingly tragic situations, but the emotional impact of such horrors never grabs hold.

The film isn't without its poignant and harrowing moments, but it moved at a slower pace than I was hoping or expecting. However, this did also allow the difficult-to-watch imagery in several scenes to really sink in at times. Furthermore, Rosamund Pike gives a bold and fearless performance as Colvin, and certainly honors her and all that she stood for very well. Overall, the film really does take its time unfortunately and I was hoping for it to move at a slightly faster pace, not to mention that similar ground has been covered several times already in other films like this, but Pike and her solid performance is the true standout of the film and makes it slightly worthwhile.… Expand

Muy interesante, mucha información digna de ser aprendida, la actuación de ella se ve bien, las escenas de acción se ven decentes. El problema es la historia no te atrapa, y ella se ve que era una persona detetstable
