In first 5 minutes, Daniel pearl gets kidnapped. In last 5 minutes, he gets killed. The rest of the movie is about searching for him (and his kidnappers). From story line perspective, its boring. There aren't any sensational scenes in the movie nor the breakthroughs in investigations create dramatic effect but the very same factor makes the movie realistic and more focused on "How afflictive were the times for the relevant people" instead of "What an staggering experience that was"
Events and characters narrated are very real. Though the movie is not offensive to any particular group, it doesn’t seem too cautious on political correctness either.
A very good watch for people interested in Pakistan and War on terrorism though the movie is strictly confined to the topic and doesn’t touch many relevant pre and post event issues.
