Review of Unbroken (2014) by Thegodfatherson — 28 Dec 2014
When hollywood directors are out of ideas, they turn to inspiring and critically acclaimed biographies, Angelina Jolie is a culprit of such. Unbroken, the true story of Louis Zamperini- who was a famous Olympic runner who survived on a lifeboat for 40 days and taken as a prisoner at a Japanese camp.
Sadly, even with the premise here, it's not a good movie. Jack O Connell does a good job, his performance is very praising. But the supporting cast is not even there, as Jolie never sheds light on them.
The cinematography is slightly on the okay side but the music is lifting. The story is not as inspiring as the book and it falls flat and stretches during the climax. Overall, rent it if you LOVED the book, otherwise beware: it's not THAT good.
