THE GIST: Marie Colvin, one of the most celebrated war correspondents of our time, is fearless, stubborn, and driven to expose the atrocities of war and give voice to the innocent and the voiceless.A Private War is a biographical dramatization of some of the most crucial events in the life of a very consequential journalist, who risked her life time and time again for what she believed in.
Marie Colvin seemed to have no fear, but her greatest achievement is probably her ability to push through the fear and get the job done.
Unfortunately, she eventually paid the ultimate price in the service of her cause.
Rosamund Pike is simply riveting in the lead role, which makes her not getting nominated for an Oscar a veritable crime. At least she was nominated for a Golden Globe.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Unless you dislike war themed movies, you should definitely catch this one. For any cinephile, Pike's performance makes it a must-see.
Grade: 8
