I enjoyed this movie. A great story of strength, character, hope and resilience.
Jack O'Connell plays Olympic athlete and American war hero Louis Zamperini in Angelina Jolie's well-mounted but underwhelming WWII drama.
Impeccable craftsmanship and sober restraint have been brought to bear on “Unbroken,” Angelina Jolie’s beautifully wrought but cumulatively underwhelming portrait of Louis Zamperini,
the Olympic runner-turned-U.S. Air Force bombardier who spent 47 days
lost at sea and more than two years as a prisoner of the Japanese
military during WWII. In re-creating the nightmarish journey so
harrowingly relayed in Laura Hillenbrand’s biography, Jolie has achieved
something by turns eminently respectable and respectful to a fault,
maintaining an intimate, character-driven focus that, despite the skill
of the filmmaking and another superb lead performance from Jack
O’Connell, never fully roars to dramatic life. A bit embalmed in its own
nobility, it’s an extraordinary story told in dutiful, unexceptional
terms, the passionate commitment of all involved rarely
achieving gut-level impact.
