The one line that hit me during the last section of this film was: "Will your opinion of the Pakistanis change, now that your husband has been reported dead." This is what the entire movie is about for me. Jolie's character withstands cultural criticism and insists that terrorists exist all over the world and find weakness in every and any place where there is pain. She does not accept murder as a means of making a political statement. Her character never judged anyone for the kidnapping or the murder of her husband. And that is the message to walk out with. Terrorists seem to think that they can send messages through murder and torture but if you open your eyes and see beyond that, you will be able to discover that what these horrible people are depending on is that you and I will fall to their level and start thinking of murder as a political message. A wonderful performance by Jolie, but more importantly a wonderfully composed and edited film that weaves in a out of a story that unfolded not only into a political but more importantly a human drama.
score 9/10
