Review of Unbroken (2014) by Udhoop — 29 Dec 2014
The "critics" can shove it where the sun don't shine. I don't understand how you give a movie based on the real life events of an American hero a bad rating. Do yourself a favor and see this movie.
Kuddos to Jolie for creating a movie in the spirit of Louie himself. I don't recall a curse word in this movie which is remarkable in and of itself. Is there violence...yes but no where NEAR what we see in the likes of other movies.
If you've seen Saving Private Ryan you can see this as it doesn't even come remotely close to that. Most of the violent nature is insinuated and not really show (i.e. they will show The Bird swinging a cane but won't actually show him making contact).
This movie is a must see for the story of it. Surviving 40+ days at sea followed by years of abuse in a POW camp is unthinkable to me and just makes one realize exactly how amazing the soldiers of the great world wars were! I gave it a 9 only because I could have sat another 15 minutes and enjoyed a little more on his life after the war.
