I have mixed feelings about this one. My heart broke for Danny Pearl's wife. But it was a very private affair. So many have been killed. Should we raise Pearl's death to a higher value just because he was handsome, had a gorgeous loving wife, and a promising career?

As a person who seems drawn to try to be culturally literate, I will see the movie at some point, but I'll be surprised if it extends beyond what feels like a soap opera set-up designed to bring out the hankies. Will this be just another vapid chick-flick? Or an important unbiased documentary of the war in Iraq? Will it have a hidden political agenda?

Inquiring minds want to know....
