Angelina Jolie Directs Her First Film

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2016)

Angelina Jolie acts are first-time director and producer in this biographical war dramatic film entitled Unbroken. This movie was based on the non-fiction book of Laura Hillenbrand entitled Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. Jack O' Connell stars together with Domhnall Gleeson,Miyavi,Garrett Hedlund and Finn Wittrock.
The Coen brothers - Joel and Etan - together with Richard LaGravenese and William Nicholson wrote the screenplay for this movie about the life of a USA Olympic athlete in Louis "Louie" Zamperini,who survived in a raft for 47 days after his bomber crash landed in the ocean during World War II and then was sent to a series of prisoner of war camps.
This was an okay film featuring the human spirit of the main character in Louis "Louie" Zemperini especially when confronted with heavy odds of survival in the situations that he is brought into.Too bad that viewers should have been treated into a better film if it did not go through the same default just like what movies of the same nature would have gone through.If there was more creativity process have taken place,it would have been a better film in the end.
