“Anchored by Rosamund Pike’s powerhouse lead performance, this restive, raw movie slowly accumulates the heft to render its flaws irrelevant.”~Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times

Aroview: Rosamund Pike is a stand out in this powerful thriller based on the true story of the fearless and celebrated war correspondent Marie Colvin. Having been exposed to countless traumatic events her personal life is taking a toll, as she embarks on the most dangerous assignment of her career in the besieged Syrian city of Homs.

5 stars (Exceptional) Extremely moving, even if played by actors in Jordan on sets. Shows the raw courage ("addiction") of a good war correspondent. Rosamund Pike is stunningly convincing & really lived her part. Similarly, Annie Lennox's soundtrack is truly haunting. ~Sandy

3 stars (Good Enough) Marie Colvin has been mentioned in more than one documentary about other war correspondents & all have been in glowing terms. She was one courageous person. This drama impresses because it is unflattering & well performed by Pike. ~Tubbs
