A PRIVATE WAR

There was a time when Rosamund Pike looked to be going the same way as the vast majority of women to have appeared in a Bond film and was quickly fading into obscurity. Then came Gone Girl. Since then the world has been able to witness the remarkable stage-honed talent this actor possesses. A Private War is yet another example. The second biographical drama of the week, Pike plays war reporter Marie Colvin and plays out her extraordinary life highlighting conflict stories from where others feared to tread. Rotten Tomatoes gives it 80%
