Bland Colour-by-Number Pretensions

Rating: 4/10 (24 September 2015)

We get it already . Jap soldiers equal cruel robots, American soldiers stoic heroes, given to weakness only because they are victims of cruel robots. Exactly - modern age propaganda in full swing.
Instead of celebrating the success and tribulations of Louis Zamperini, it only makes a mockery of it. Just as well he did not get to see the final product.
This movie has no sense of humanity, no soul, just caricature after caricature.
Rating of 4 purely for the hard work put in by cast and crew  the result unfortunately shows for NOUGHT.
Scene with 'beam over the head'  Laughably agonizing pretensions only Ms Jolie could be blind enough to think it is anywhere near 'inspirational'.
