Review of Unbroken (2014) by Googolendtimes — 29 Dec 2014

"Unbroken" tells a true story worth commemorating. It's ambitious, passionate, harrowing, often rousing and immaculate filmmaking, directed with vigour by Angelina Jolie, well-acted (particularly by Jack O'Connell and Miyavi; their interactions are mesmerising) and gorgeously shot by cinematography veteran Roger Deakins.

It would have benefited from a more in-depth treatment and picking up the pace a little, but the film is certainly not a bore (at least not in my opinion) and it is most certainly worth watching.
