Completely missed the point

Rating: 3/10 (21 March 2015)

The whole point of the story is that Louie want from being a tearaway to being an Olympic athlete. Then when he joined the army air corps and was captured by the Japanese that prowess turned against him and he was berated for it. Following that there was a whole 'man's inhumanity to man' issue with 'The Bird' which is neither fully explained or really portrayed. The whole film skimps on the important parts of the book and tries to portray a sanitised story. It misses out so many characters both Japanese and allied.
Angelina Jolie should be ashamed
A very poor attempt at a fantastic book.
