Review of Unbroken (2014) by Brent_Marchant — 27 Dec 2014

An ambitious but nevertheless overlong effort that frequently (and unfortunately) resorts to cliche, formula and the safe route in favor of taking chances that would have served the picture better. While I certainly don't expect a lot from director Angelina Jolie, I definitely expect something more inventive from the screenwriting Coen Brothers, who seem to have turned uncharacteristically timid here.

Louie Zamperini's story is indeed an inspiring tale, one that deserved better treatment than it received here.
