A Mighty Heart

Just saw A Mighty Heart and it's really powerful. It's actually REALLY compelling even though you know how it ends. Sort of like Apollo 13 (right, ck?) But Angelina Jolie is the heart of the movie. You never really forget it's her but she really does disappear into it, especially with what sounds like a flawless French accent. Yet it's not a showy performance AT ALL. In fact there are so many times when you see her angry or crying from behind. It makes the emotional climax of the film all the more jarring and effective.
