Certainly not a bad flick, this was basically the story of a SJW journalist on journey toward self-destruction. And I found I just didn't care - even though I'm a Rosamund Pike fan

Rosamund Pike proves she is a tour de force in this must see biopic about a true living legend. Jamie Dornan holds his own and proves that he has a career outside of 50 Shades. The final 5 minutes will leave you haunted.

But I remember the moment of the Arab spring, this film is a important footnote in how it reminds us n celebrates Marie Colvin

Despite the occasional moment where the depiction of newsroom procedures doesn’t quite ring true, or a supporting character delivers a line that’s a little too perfect and succinct for the moment, most of what transpires feels grimly authentic and true to the real-life characters and events.

By the time the narrative comes to Colvin’s greatest get — she was essentially the first Western journalist to get inside Homs and refute Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s bold-faced lie that he wasn’t bombing his own people into oblivion — the price of that sacrifice, and the power of her story, feels finally, fully real. Whatever her private battles, War works hard to be the public reckoning her work deserves.
