Marie Colvin was a fearless American-born war correspondent who met her untimely end while reporting on the carnage in Syria a few years ago. Played effectively by Rosamund Pike, we watch as she battles with editors in London, where she was based, and dodges death in various hellish war-torn spots around the globe, always with an eye trained on the innocent victims of war. Pike plays Colvin as the reportedly complex woman she was — tough, vulnerable, hurting, private and someone who deserves our respect.
