Too much righteousness, or the heroine's lack of charm, anyway, there is a feeling of dryness, the whole film can not make people excited. It is said that a thrilling life should be accompanied by sensational or exciting moments, but it is a pity that at the end of the film with such a good subject, I feel indifferent to the end of the film. I even feel that the heroine’s various works and deaths are probably real regrets. The moment she died.

    Marie Colvin: when it's all over.
